Palestinian family fights effort by settlers and Israeli government to evict them from Jerusalem home - 2015

The Gaith-Sub Laban family is facing an imminent unlawful forced eviction from their home in the Muslim Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem at the hands of Israeli authorities and settler organizations. Four generations of the Gaith-Sub Laban family have lived in their home since 1953, for 62 years, and they have been targeted for eviction by Israeli occupation authorities and settlers for 40 of those years. Palestinian grandmother Nora Gaith-Sub Laban, 59, who was born in her home and grew up there, lives with her family of 8, including two of her grandchildren Mustafa, 9 and Kanaan, 3, stated “Nothing makes me happier than seeing my grandchildren growing up in our family home….I’ve lived through my life watching my neighbors & family being slowly pushed out of the city.”

They are being evicted because of their ethnicity, in order to be replaced by Jewish settlers

Permanent Apartheid in Palestine: Why Israel Wants to Reactivate The E1 Plan - Mint Press - 2023


The Israeli government is at it again, actively discussing the construction of thousands of illegal settlement units as part of a massive settlement expansion scheme known as E1.

Though Israeli construction in the East Jerusalem area has supposedly been halted under international pressure, the Israeli government has found ways to keep the plan alive.

It did so through constant expansion of the various settlements in the name of ‘natural expansion’, confiscation of Palestinian land and the ruthless yet routine demolition of Palestinian homes
