Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation authorities issued a decision to convert any land in the city of Jerusalem whose owners are unable to prove ownership into what is known as “absentee property,” while preventing its owners from obtaining building permits.

The Jerusalem Governorate explained that the occupation began implementing this measure in the Sheikh Jarrah and Jabal Mukaber areas, specifically in the Al-Qanbar neighborhood and the lands near the wall near Abu Dis.

He pointed out that the occupation is working to expand the scope of these measures to include all parts of Jerusalem, with a special focus on the town of Silwan, especially in the neighborhoods of Al-Bustan, Batn Al-Hawa, and Ein Al-Lawza.
