Four Palestinian families facing eviction in Jerusalem have rejected a proposal from Israel’s Supreme Court that the families live as 'protected tenants' on the land which according to them, belongs to Jewish settlers. In the widely anticipated ruling, the apex court floated a plan to settle the Sheikh Jarrah dispute and said that the Palestinians could continue to live in the contested neighbourhood, given they become "protected tenants" and accept Israel's ownership. However, the families involved in the legal dispute and scores of others affected by the ruling have blatantly refused Israeli ownership of their land.
