No Man's Land

• A Jewish businessman with connections to the radical settler movement is poised to develop a quarter of the neighbourhood’s territory, with plans to build a luxury hotel.
• The Armenian quarter actually makes up one-sixth of the Old City (the other quarters being the Muslim, the Christian, and the Jewish) and the Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to the 4th century.
• In 2021, the Armenian patriarch of Jerusalem, Nourhan Manougian, agreed a 98-year lease over part of the Armenian quarter with the developers.

• The dispute has now gone to court.
• The question is whether the lease agreement is valid or whether the unilateral termination makes the agreement void.

Changing East Jerusalem’s demography

• Since the 1967 six-day War, when the whole of Jerusalem came under Israeli control, there has been a concerted effort to change the demography in the traditionally Arab East Jerusalem.
• In many places the authorities are evicting the Arab families who have lived there for decades with the explanation that they lack documents that they own the house.
• This change of the demography of East Jerusalem happens through evictions, demolitions and buildings restrictions.

• East Jerusalem is of vital importance to the Palestinians.
• Decisively changing the demography there is therefore a priority goal for some in Israel – including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who doesn’t want a two-state solution.

Hierarchical institutions

• Old churches are by nature hierarchical and the leaders at the top rule supremely.
• In Jerusalem there is an additional problem in that the church leaders are not always drawn from the local population.
• The Armenian patriarchate has been accused of corruption and illegitimate sale of property in the past, long before the current crisis.

• I can’t think of any colony or mandate that was as demanding intellectually and emotionally as Palestine.
• I said: “I found the British still very emotional about Palestine.
• Why?” And he said: “It’s associated, don’t you think with partisanship with one side or the other.
• I can’t think of any colony or mandate that was as demanding intellectually and emotionally as Palestine.
• Mayhew, a staunch anti-communist, found himself out of sync with the zeitgeist and abandoned Labour for the Liberal Party.

Internal rivalries

• There has thus been a powerful tendency for the antagonisms of the Arab-Israeli conflict to map onto Labour’s own internal rivalries and the factional battle for control over the party.
• Between 1945 and 1967, this usually manifested itself as a clash between a pro-Zionist left and an anti-Zionist right.

Starmer’s predicament

• Keir Starmer’s political positioning on the 2023 Gaza conflict is shaped by his experience of the more recent chapters of that history.
• He has sought to rebuild trust with the British Jewish community and distance the party from what many see as the toxic image it acquired under Corbyn.
• These are all pressures and dangers that can be expected to grow as the Gaza conflict intensifies and its human costs mount.
