Israeli court to decide on home-demolition of Shamasna family’s house

Wednesday 16-August-2017

Israeli magistrate court in Occupied Jerusalem will consider on Thursday the home-demolition of Shamasnah family’s home threatened with eviction in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem.

Hatem Abdulqader Fatah Movement official of Jerusalem affairs said that an appeal was filed by lawyer Saeed Ghaliya based on new data and documents that prove the family’s home ownership that dates back to 1964. The eviction order which was supposed to take place last Sunday as a result was postponed.

The family has continued their protest sit-in before the home for the second week in a row.

For his part the UNRWA Spokesman Christopher Gunness expressed his concern over the humanitarian consequences of the Israeli threat to evict the house. He called on Israeli occupation authorities to reconsider the decision.
