Settlers seize house in Jerusalem Old City

At 2.30 am on Thursday April 2 settlers sized a house in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem Old City.
Shortly after 2.30 am, Mr Nasser Jaber, owner of the house, received a phonecall from his neighbours alerting him that 15 to 20 settlers - reports on the number vary - had forced their way into his house .
The police arrived on the scene shortly after Mr Jaber called them to report the occupation of his property. The officers then advised him that they would not remove the settlers and that he should bring the legal documents relating to the property to the Court in Jerusalem.
At Court, Mr Jaber was told a decision would be taken on Sunday and until then he would not be able to access his house.
In the afternoon, police and military escorted one more settler into the house. The crowd gathered protested non-violently at the police and military partiality.
Palestinians residing in East Jerusalem are slowly been driven out by rightwing settlers often hailing from Hebron and have nowhere to turn to for help.
Mr Jaber claims that settlers often offered him money to buy the house and also claims they knew the house was temporarily empty due to renovation works taking place inside. Two more properties nearby where successfully occupied in the 90s and now the settlers are looking to strengthen their hold in this part of the Old City.
House evictions are overtly and covertly supported either by the Ministry of Interior or Jerusalem Municipality.
The Mayor, Mr. Nir Barkat, is currently pushing through the infamous E1 plan which aims to link the settlement of Ma'ale Adumin to Jerusalem and generally increase Jewish presence in the eastern part of the city. This despite international pressure on Israel to stop building new settlements.
