Israeli Court Fines Silwan Family $10,000 for Building Without Permit

An Israeli court Monday fined a Palestinian family in the Bustan area in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan more than $10,000 for building its house without a permit, according to local sources.

The court also gave the owner, Widad Tawil, a mother of eight, until October to obtain a building permit from the Israeli municipality otherwise the house will be demolished.

Tawil expressed fear that she might lose her 85-square-meter house since it will be impossible to obtain a building permit in Silwan.

The all-Jewish Israeli municipality is planning to demolish all 88 houses in the Bustan area in order to build a Talmudic garden on their ruins, displacing 1600 Palestinians.
