Occupied Jerusalem (IINA) – The Israeli police on Thursday forced a Palestinian from Jerusalem to leave his house, under the pretext that three generations have passed since the house was rented.
Mazen Qerresh, owner of the house, told Palestinian news agency WAFA that Israeli policemen broke into his house early on Thursday morning, and handed him an order issued by an Israeli court asking him to leave his house. The eviction order claimed that three generations have passed since the house was rented.
Qerresh said he and his family have lived in the house for 58 years, adding that eviction order forces him and his eight-member family to live outside the Old Quarter in Jerusalem.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli authorities have taken over dozens of housing units and apartments in Jerusalem during the past few years, under similar pretexts.
