Apartment takeovers in east Jerusalem spark anger

(3 Oct 2014) The biggest settler takeover since Jews began buying up properties in the volatile area two decades ago took place in east Jerusalem earlier this week. On Thursday, Bushra Mohammed Adel Khayyatt, a young Palestinian woman who insisted her family had not sold their apartment, said her belongings were stuck inside the apartment and the locks were changed. A group of young Palestinian residents gathered in Silwan and screamed at her, accusing her family of selling their home to the new residents. The organisation that oversees Jewish settlement calls them legal purchases in a hostile neighbourhood, while Arabs and the international community see it as a nationalistic conquest in land Israel captured in 1967. The Elad Foundation said it has settled hundreds of Jews amid an Arab population estimated at about 30-thousand in an area it calls the City of David, where Jewish tradition holds King David established Jerusalem as Judaism's central holy city. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, home to the city's most sensitive holy sites, as the capital of a future independent state, something Israel doesnt want. But the international community, including the US, does not recognise Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem in 1967 and says the area's fate must be resolved through negotiations.
