she but it seems those who are in favor of a strong line against israeli supreme court against the occupation, they're the ones who prevail. and what do we think happens now? well, the supreme court was obviously very keen to push this deal because it appears not to want to make a decision. everyone is aware of the political sensitivity surrounding this issue. it was one of the driving sort of ingredients in the fighting that we saw in may and the tensions around here and in jerusalem more broadly as well. at that time, the united states is pressuring these ready government against any forcible evictions of palestinians here in check. sure, because of the very sensitive nature of it. however, legal analysts say that because of the previous existing decisions and lower courts because of the stretches within the israeli legal system, which as far as the international community or most of it, a consider that shouldn't apply here in occupied land. israel does apply its own law in east jerusalem because it sees east jerusalem as part of its own territory. and so the supreme court doesn't have much

and so now the supreme court will have to base any final decision within the strictures of israeli law, which the international community should, would say, does not apply unoccupied territory. how the, as far as digital is concerned, it does. and previous court decisions have gone against them on the basis of the legal arguments made before there is very little room for the court. it seems to move in a separate direction from the earlier court verdict. so if and when there is a final order to evict or forcibly displace these families from their homes, that could a lead to more unrest and most of violence and protest, the kind that we saw 6 months ago or so around the same time as the as the gods, a war and as well as that it gives the israeli government a very difficult decision. does it enact and enforce those displacements or does it try and put them off to sometime in the future? i think there is a clear indication that the really government doesn't want to move on this. they're under significant pressure from the united states to not foresee families from their homes. but if the c
