The Court also authorized the families to appeal the decision of the courts that had ruled in favor of their expulsion, the AFP news agency reported.
The sentence, which affects four families immersed in a long legal process with a Jewish pro-colonial entity that claims their homes, is issued after the Supreme Court already postponed the decision on their eviction in the summer.
The case, which received wide media attention last year, sparked protests and clashes with settlers and Israeli police throughout the territory, including the holy Esplanade of the Mosquesand an 11-day war escalation between the Islamist movement Hamaswhich dominates the Gaza Stripand Israel.
The families, who have lived in Sheikh Jarrah for decades, say they received their properties from Jordanwhich controlled East Jerusalem until 1967, the year in which this Palestinian sector came under Israeli control.
In front of them, the Israeli settlers claim that these plots belong to them, under an Israeli law that allows Jews to claim the “right of ownership” of land in East Jerusalem if they can prove that their family lived there before the war of 1948.
The Palestinians who lost their land in that conflict have no such option.
