The Peace Now movement condemned the Israeli Supreme Court’s decision to approve the government’s decision to evict the Sumarin family from the Palestinian neighbourhood of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem. The decision indicates that these cases are not of a mere ‘civil nature’ between two private parties discussing the ownership of a property, but rather that they involve unjustified government participation.
The movement added, “if the state’s position is that the Sumarin family can be evicted, the Government will become a direct party to a crime and unforgivable injustice. This is the government’s chance to prevent this wrong.” For further details, click here
