About the Coalition

The Coalition for Jerusalem is a league of religious dignitaries, political factions, civil society organizations, and individuals based in Occupied East Jerusalem. It is a non violent, direct action group formed in 2004 to oppose Israeli Government arbitrary measures to alter the Status of East Jerusalem in violation of International Legitimacy and Human Rights Conventions, and to reaffirm that East Jerusalem is the Capital of the future Palestinian State.

Currently the Coalition is working on four different areas:

1- Palestinians Elections
2- Israeli Town Planning Scheme / Master Plan 2000
3- Impact of the Separation Wall on access of teachers and students to their schools in Occupied East Jerusalem
4- House demolitions in Silwan
