51. 主要有两项法律被用作将巴勒斯坦人驱逐出他们在东耶路撒冷的房产并由定居者组织接手的依据，即《缺席业主房产法》和 1970 年的《法律和行政事项法》。100 《缺席业主房产法》101 颁布于 1950 年，允许在“以色列国法律适用的地区”没收巴勒斯坦人的房产，条件是房产所有者在 1947 年 11 月 27 日之后逃离或不在该地区。102自以色列吞并东耶路撒冷以来，以色列当局根据定居者组织提出的权利主张，将居住在城外的巴勒斯坦人在东耶路撒冷的房产认定为“缺席业主房产”，并在某些情况下将这些房产转让或出售给定居者组织。103尽管国际法认定吞并为非法，以色列最高法院却在 2015 年 4 月 15 日的一项裁决中认可这种没收行为，同时规定在东耶路撒冷应极少援引该法律，而且每一次都必须得到总检察长的明确许可。104 《法律和行政事项法》允许就归还犹太人 1948 年之前在东耶路撒冷拥有的房产提出主张，但不允许就归还巴勒斯坦人 1948 年之前在西耶路撒冷拥有的房产提出主张。据估计，自 1980 年代以来，东耶路撒冷的定居者根据这两项法律以及通过考古或旅游项目和涉及巴勒斯坦房产的交易，包括欺诈性购买，已经接手了数百处房产。105
51. Two of the main laws that have been used as grounds for evicting Palestinians from their properties in East Jerusalem in favour of settler organizations are the Absentee Property Law and the Legal and Administrative Matters Law of 1970. 100 The Absentee Property Law,101 enacted in 1950, allows the confiscation of property from Palestinians in areas where “the law of the State of Israel applies”, if the own er of the property fled or otherwise was outside that area after 27 November 1947. 102 Since Israel annexed East Jerusalem, property in East Jerusalem owned by Palestinians residing outside the city has been determined by Israeli authorities to be “absentee property” on the basis of claims initiated by settler organizations, and in some cases transferred or sold to settler organizations.103 Notwithstanding the illegality of annexation under international law, the Supreme Court of Israel accepted such confiscations in a decision on 15 April 2015, while stipulating that the law should be invoked extremely rarely in East Jerusalem, and only with the express permission of the Attorney General in each case. 104 The Legal and Administrative Matters Law permits claims for restitution of property in East Jerusalem owned by Jewish persons before 1948, but not for Palestinian claims of ownership in West Jerusalem before 1948. It is estimated that hundreds of properties have been taken over by settlers in East Jerusalem since the 1980s under the two laws, as well as through archaeological or tourism projects and transactions involving Palestinian property, including fraudulent purchases.105
