| A "Unified Jerusalem"? Reality gives a different picture | | Ir Amim - Jerusalem Day, the day marking the 53rd anniversary of the
Israeli occupation and annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967, is
celebrated by some as marking the “reunification” of Jerusalem, the
everyday reality in the city is starkly different. At our event,
Aviv Tatarsky, Ir Amim Senior Field Researcher, explained the
ramifications on-the-ground of the Trump annexation plans of the
Jerusalem area, while Mahmoud Mouna, (a Palestinian East
Jerusalemite active in the cultural scene, shared about the
collective and individual Palestinian experiences of the current
situation in East Jerusalem and the fears and hopes they have for
the future. [ak] | 26/5/2020 |

| Ahead of Jerusalem Day, report of Israeli landgrab, abuse and violence in the neighborhood of al-‘Esawiyah | | Amit Gilutz - B`Tselem - As Jerusalem Day nears, B`Tselem is
publishing a new report about the Israeli policy that has shaped the
lives of al-’Esawiyah’s 22,000 Palestinian residents, making it one
of the city’s poorest and most overcrowded neighborhoods. The
report, This is Jerusalem: Violence and Dispossession in al-
‘Esawiyah, reviews the key features of this policy – systemic
landgrab and deliberate lack of planning:
Since 1967, Israel has overtaken about 90% of al-’Esawiyah’s land,
which once spanned almost 2,500 acres.
The landgrab is a key reason for the neighborhood’s poverty, as
residents are denied the opportunity to benefit from their land.
The stolen land serves the Jewish public.
Al-’Esawiyah residents now have less than 250 acres, which are
mostly built up and hemmed in by Israeli institutions (primarily the
Hebrew University and Hadassah Mt. Scopus Medical Center) and Jewish
neighborhoods.
The Jerusalem Municipality has yet to draw up a proper outline plan
that allows legal residential construction and reflects residents’
needs, including infrastructure development and public buildings.
Instead, the only plan approved for the neighborhood, in 1991, was
mostly designed to limit construction.[ak] | 19/5/2020 |

| Drawing New Lines: Israel’s Unilateral Policies to Reshape Jerusalem | | Yehudit Oppenheimer and Betty Herschman - Palestine Israel Journal -
Over the past several years, the government of Israel has intensified
its two-pronged Jerusalem strategy to consolidate control over East
Jerusalem while eroding the Palestinians’ hold on the city. Israel is
actively working to redraw the boundaries of Jerusalem through
legislation and political proposals to both territorially and
demographically reshape the city. And it is asserting its power at
the center of East Jerusalem by promoting an unprecedented number of
touristic settlement initiatives inside Palestinian neighborhoods,
evicting and uprooting Palestinian families, demolishing homes
(throughout East Jerusalem), and tolerating pressure from messianic
Temple movements to challenge the status quo on the Temple Mount/al-

| Dawn of a New Era? Jerusalem and Its Palestinian Residents Joining Forces to Battle Coronavirus | | Nir Hasson - Haaretz - Dr. Hagai Agmon-Snir, the director general of
the Jerusalem Inter-Cultural Center, which assists in the building of
relationships between the authorities and Palestinian civil society,
said that “The advantage of the coronavirus crisis is that it’s not
linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and can be dealt while
disregarding political considerations. “We see a trend in which the
old orientalist concept, by which East Jerusalem is made up of
villages, clans, and hostile Palestinian organizations, is being
replaced by a new perspective – Jerusalem`s eastern part enables a
civil society to flourish, and is home to activists and
professionals, just like in the western part of the city," Agmon-Snir
said. He added that the "old reality hasn`t completely vanished," but
a civil society has been gradually forming in East Jerusalem. (rh) | 5/5/2020 |
