Jews Move into Jerusalem Home as Court Orders Arab Squatters Out

by Maayana Miskin
Jews finally moved into a home in Jerusalem on Tuesday with help from the police after a court ordered Arab squatters to leave. The building is located in Jabal Mukaber, located near the Old City that is already home to several Jewish families and in part of the capital where the Palestinian Authority claims sovereignty.
The squatters, members of the Kuraeen family, made international news after claiming the eviction was a sign that Jews are planning a “new settlement” in the capital city.
While the French news agency AFP referred to the building the Kuraeen family was told to leave as “their home,” in fact, the family had never owned the structure. Rather, family members were related to a deceased man who had owned the building and who sold it several years ago for $450,000.
