Contrary to reports in the media, the Israeli Government does not own or have rights to the property that houses Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA’s Sheikh Jarrah compound in East Jerusalem.
The Israeli Government’s claims are false and illegal. There has never been a transfer of property.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has leased the land from the Government of Jordan since 1952.? It is now being seized in blatant breach of international law.
The International Court of Justice and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly have determined that Israel’s presence in East Jerusalem is illegal and must end as rapidly as possible.
Israel has no sovereign rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the application of its laws there is unlawful.
