Legal Status of Jerusalem

This fact sheet highlights Israel's illegal occupation and annexation of East Jerusalem since the 1967 war, detailing the ongoing policies aimed at reducing the Palestinian presence in the city while expanding Jewish settlements. It underscores the international community's refusal to recognise Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem in the absence of a peace agreement, referencing UN resolutions that condemn Israel’s actions. The document also outlines the severe impact of Israel’s Judaization policies, including the revocation of Palestinian residency rights, home demolitions, and land confiscation, all while Israeli settlers continue to expand illegally in occupied Palestinian territory.
