| Maintaining a Jewish majority: Jerusalem Municipality to demolish entire Palestinian neighborhood, leaving 550 people without a roof over their heads | | B`tselem - "In the 1990s, there weren’t any other houses nearby, and people made fun of us for choosing to live in an isolated area that had no running water or electricity. But my father, who worked for the city as a street cleaner, managed to hook up the house to water and electricity, thanks to his contacts there. City officials told him he shouldn’t be concerned because the homes there were not causing any damage or compromising city projects.
After 1997, more people started moving into the neighborhood." [bz]

| Moldova constitutional crisis and the embassy which did not move | | Raphael Ahren - The Times of Israel - Prime Minister Filip of
Moldova - a small eastern European country wedged between Romania nd
Ukraine - announced that he would move his country`s embassy from
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the past, Israel`s Netnayahu would have
greeted such an announcement with great public jubilation. This time
the PM kept a stony silence, even while the Palestinians strongly
condemned the Moldovan move. Netanyahu was acutely aware that
Moldova was in the grip of a deep constitutional crisis and that
Filip was a lame duck unlikely to keep power; his announcement of
the embassy move was a last-ditch effort to curry favor with Israel
and with the Trump White House and gain American backing for his
failing cabinet. However, the effort failed, a new Moldovan
government was consolidated in power with the backing of both
Russia, the US and the EU. The embassy move episode came to its end,
and Natnayhu`s caution saved him from a international embarrassment.

| Help Jawad Siam keep his home | | Fund me -
"For 25 years Jawad Siam has been leading the struggle of the people
of Silwan against the Elad Foundation`s settlement in his village.
At the same time, Siam waged a legal battle to try to stop the Elad
Foundation from taking over his family home. Despite the battery of
lawyers representing the wealthy foundation, which has a turnover of
approximately one hundred million NIS and assets worth over 300
million NIS, the court has repeatedly ruled in favor of Siam. Each
case lasted for several years at a huge cost to Siam.Eventually,
after over two decades of struggle, the settlers succeeded in
driving a wedge through the family and acquired a section of the
property...Siam is going to appeal the decision in the court. If you
wish to help Siam in his last legal battle to save his home, please
make a donation to help cover the legal costs and his previous debt.
Thank you." ca | 15/6/2019 |

| Hundreds of Palestinians riot as Jews allowed on Temple Mount for Jerusalem Day | | MICHAEL BACHNER and TOI STAFF - The Times of Israel - Clashes erupted
between Palestinian rioters and police on Sunday morning at the
Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, as hundreds of Jews
were allowed into the holy site to celebrate Jerusalem Day — the 52nd
anniversary of the unification of the capital in the Six Day War.
Later in the morning, hundreds of Palestinians rioters threw rocks
and chairs at Israeli security personnel. There were no immediate
reports of injuries. By mid-afternoon, police reported that the
situation was again calm.-rh | 11/6/2019 |

| Palestinian photographer imprisoned, threatened with deportation | | IMEMC - For the past five months, Mustafa al-Kharouf has been
languishing inside Israel’s Givon prison, away from his wife Tamam
and their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Asia. But, now, he faces
deportation to Jordan. The 32-year-old photojournalist, son to an
Algerian mother and a Palestinian father, has been living in
Jerusalem since 1999, when he was 12 years old. Despite repeated
attempts, over the past decade, he has been denied permanent
residency status, which he is entitled to, thus rendering him
stateless - officially because he "does not fit" some very unclear
criteria for residency, actually because the authorities dislike his
making photos of Human Rights violations and accuse his (without
proof) of membership in Hamas. Over the past five months he is under
Administrative Detention without trial, his fate to be decided by
the Supreme Court, to which an appeal was lodged via HaMoked, an
Israeli Human Rights group. If rejected by the Supreme Court, he is
likely to be deported to Jordan - a country with which he has no
ties, where he is unlikely to be granted citizenship or residency,
and whose own security services might detain him on arrival in their
territory. [ak] | 4/6/2019 |
