00:00Each time Kaed al-Rajabi comes up here to his terrace, he knows it could be the last time.
00:06He's been served with an eviction order for his home in Baden al-Hawah, East Jerusalem, near the old city.
00:13Now, he says more than 30 members of his extended family will have nowhere to live.
00:18All of us were born in this house.
00:23My father got married in this house.
00:27I can't imagine leaving the house where I was born, played, grew up and laughed.
00:35All my memories are in this house.
00:37We're afraid they'll come every minute, knock on the door, throw us out and toss us into the street.
00:44Baden al-Hawah is a Palestinian neighborhood in Israeli annexed East Jerusalem.
00:50Israeli settlers have taken over houses here one by one.
00:54They move in as soon as a Palestinian family is evicted.
00:58More than 80 families are facing the prospect of losing their homes.
01:03Daniel Luria from the settler group Atheret Kohanim says they want to return a Jewish presence here.
01:09Some houses were sold, he says.
01:11Their legal claim is based on land owned here by a Yemeni trust in the late 19th century.
01:16They were driven out in the 1930s.
01:20Decades later, Israeli courts have all ruled against the Palestinian families.
01:26They're not being driven out.
01:28They are illegal squatters living in an old trust.
01:31And this Yemenite trust basically applied to the courts and the courts correctly ruled that they were illegal squatters.
01:40Nothing to do with Atheret Kohanim, nothing to do, we're not involved with the committee or the court cases.
01:44We are involved in helping the trust rejuvenate their Jewish life.
01:49The area in Silwan has become a hotspot for settler activities.
01:55It is close to what for Jewish people is the Temple Mount and for Muslims the Haram al-Sharif.
02:02Israeli human rights advocate Sarit Mikhaeli has followed the case for years.
02:07She says Israeli law works in the settlers' favor.
02:11The bottom line is that since the occupation of 1967, the occupation and annexation of East Jerusalem,
02:21Israeli Jews who claim they lost property in the 48th war in Jerusalem can reclaim it, can ask for it,
02:32and the government gives it to them.
02:35It doesn't matter that Palestinians, like the residents of this neighborhood, have lived in their homes totally legally.
02:43Some of them bought their homes and even got a mortgage.
02:46Kayet al-Rajabi hasn't found another place to live.
02:50Affordable housing is rare in annexed East Jerusalem.
02:54Losing a home is a disaster.
02:56We'll end up on the streets, we have no other place.
03:01This is our house and here we have everything.
03:04Outside, we have nothing.
03:07He has no more options left to appeal.
03:10The case has been ruled upon by the Supreme Court against him.
03:15Now he can only wait to lose his home.
03:18But, there is no more options left to be on the street.
03:21The building is called a good principle
03:23of the Supreme Court.
03:26The border.
03:27The border.
03:28The border.
03:29The border.
03:31A best, the border.
