Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood is a Palestinian neighborhood located in the eastern side of the Old City of Jerusalem outside the wall, and is famous for the American Colony Hotel or “The American Colony”; It is a grandiose old Ottoman mansion turned hotel, and features lush gardens and book and antique shops. The neighborhood is also home to consulates and a range of archaeological sites, including the Tomb of Simon the Just, said to contain the priest's remains, as well as St. George's Cathedral from the late 19th century, and upscale cafés and Middle Eastern restaurants are dotted throughout the neighborhood. This neighborhood was established in 1956 under an agreement signed between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA and the Jordanian government. At the time, it accommodated 28 Palestinian families who were displaced from their occupied lands in 1948, and is now threatened by an Israeli settlement plan that includes building 200 housing units in the middle and evacuating families from their homes Palestine to house Jewish settlers there.
