2009Israeli police evicted two Palestinian families from their homes in
East Jerusalem Sunday and moved in Jewish settlers. The police said they
were acting on eviction orders from an Israeli court. The international
community has been pressuring Israel to stop settlement activity in East
Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Palestinians want East Jerusalem
to be the capital of their future state. About 250, 000 Palestinians
live in East Jerusalem, alongside some 200, 000 Jews. Israel captured
East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed it in a move
not recognized internationally. Some information for this report was
provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.
