12. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Saleh Diab, Sheikh Jarrah resident facing an eviction court order:
"There is a big plan for Sheikh Jarrah on both the eastern side and the western side that is known as Um Haroun, and it is about expelling all the (Palestinian) families from the two areas and building a settlement on the western side and a settlement on the eastern side."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Cohen, spokeswoman for the Israeli NGO Ir Amim:
"In Jerusalem, the Israeli government has been accelerating enormous facts on the ground, both in terms of settlement advancements but also massive surge in demolitions. And so it wouldn’t necessarily be surprising if the timing of this particular case is also in line with the various developments that we’ve seen the Israeli government take under the cover of the war, essentially the Israeli government exploiting the circumstances while the global attention is directed at the war in Gaza."

"The Diab family case is (a) much larger number, much larger phenomenon across East Jerusalem where you have 200 families that number over 1,000 Palestinians that are under threat of forced displacement via eviction that are being advanced by state backed settler groups."

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Cohen, spokeswoman for the Israeli NGO Ir Amim:
"So if you think about the severity, the magnitude of this, it goes really hand in hand – or really if you want to put it in an overarching framework is part of Israeli policy and practices aimed at uprooting Palestinians from their homes, from the city, from their lands. And it’s playing out across Jerusalem, the occupied territories and within Gaza right now."

STORYLINE:
An Israeli court on Monday ordered the eviction of a Palestinian family in a contested neighborhood of east Jerusalem, the latest in a legal saga that has come to symbolize the conflicting claims to the holy city.
The Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood has been the focus of a long-running battle between government-backed Israeli settlers and longtime Palestinian residents.
The family said it would appeal.
