## Resource

Dozens of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem’s al-Bustan neighborhood are being demolished at an alarming pace, forcing families into displacement while global attention drifts elsewhere. The Israeli government justifies these actions as public benefit — like parks — but for residents like the Awads, it feels like their future is being erased. With Israel having annexed East Jerusalem in 1967 — a move unrecognized internationally — Palestinians face near-impossible access to building permits, even as they make up a large portion of the city’s population. Some families are forced to tear down their own homes to avoid crippling fines, while activists warn the remaining homes are next. Amid rising insecurity and dwindling options, Palestinians feel abandoned by the world as Israel moves to finalize its plans — including expanding settlements and displacing residents — exploiting the current geopolitical climate.
