In April, the municipality sold its land in Givat Amal to the Hajjaj brothers and to Daniel Tzarfati, with rights to 166 luxury apartments, for NIS 365 million - even though the vast majority of the residents live in these areas.
According to the master plan, two luxury towers are to be built on these areas.
Since the 1960s, the issue of evacuating the homes of about 200 families of the neighborhood has continued. Several more families were evacuated in 2014, and today 14 families remain seeking adequate compensation, and in 2019 the Tel Aviv District Court ruled that the evacuees were entitled to compensation worth owning an alternative apartment for the rest of their lives, valued at NIS 3 million.
In January, the Supreme Court strengthened the recognition of the residents' historic right to the land on which they lived in 1949 after the War of Independence, and even increased the previous compensation outline from NIS 27.5 million to NIS 42 million for all families.
A total of 14 households in Givat Amal that received eviction orders are made up of about 60 families, but according to the court's ruling, the right to housing is granted for each household - not for each family.
