Here is a breakdown of what is going on in East Jerusalem, in the Palestinian & Israeli conflict:

On May 10th, the Israeli Supreme Court is set to decide whether or not six Palestinian families should be evicted from THEIR homes, and given to Israeli settlers.

Originally, on May 2nd, it was deemed that 6 Palestinian families MUST leave their homes, to be GIVEN to Israeli settlers. Displacing families that have lived their for GENERATIONS. The court ruled that several SEPARATE families, must vacate their homes ASWELL by Aug 1st.
The specific area of East Jerusalem, to which the evictions are set to possibly occur, is the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where houses were built for Palestinian refugees by the UN & Jordan, after 1948 when Jordan temporarily ruled the area.
Israeli settlers are attempting to state that East Jerusalem should be given back to the settling people, as the region was apparently “owned by Jews before 1948” & seized by Israel in 1967.

The Palestinian families lawyer disagrees:
Palestinians protesting the evictions have been met with brutality from the Israeli riot police. Here is a video of the violence from May 5th: https://twitter.com/linahalsaafin/status/1389834274979917824
Palestinian homes within Sheikh Jarrah have also been raided by Israeli police. Here is a video by TRT World, breaking it down:
Far-right Jewish groups have also been harassing Palestinian people during the long-standing protests. As seen here, a bus full of Palestinian people was attacked by far-right Jewish groups: https://twitter.com/rafaelshimunov/status/1385702040404365317
Here are Zionists harassing Palestinian people, admitting their want for East Jerusalem to be ethnically cleansed of the Palestinian people: https://twitter.com/declankearneysf/status/1389334067359981571
Last night, Palestinian worshippers were met with rubber bullets and stun grenades via the Israeli police, due to apparent rock throwing by the Palestinians. 150 Palestinians were injured. Here is a video of the violence: https://twitter.com/theimeu/status/1390765408186212353
Israeli settlers and far-right groups have referred to the Palestinians as “squatters”, for RIGHTFULLY living in their homes.
One starting: “if you are the owner of the property and somebody is squatting on your property, wouldn’t you have the right to take him out from your...
... property?” The UN has stated that these evictions could be considered war crimes.
