Over 80 British MPs Seek to Pressure Israel Not to Evict 200 Palestinian Families in Jerusalem Published February 10th, 2021 - 10:52 GMT A vendor sells souvenir postcards to tourists watching Jerusalem s Old City from the panoramic view of the Mount of Olives, January 2019 (AFP) Over 80 British parliamentarians representing all parties, in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, wrote in a letter to the British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, that the British government must do everything in its power to prevent the mass/forced evictions and dispossession of Palestinian families in Jerusalem. About 200 families in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan are in danger of being dispossessed following a legal battle waged against them by settler associations. British lawmakers have made it clear that these evictions, some of which have already taken place, are a violation of international law, and that it is Britain’s job to make sure they do not happen.
