Israel holds many hidden secrets and surprises.
One of them is the land ownership.
After the independence war and the Six Day war, land that was captured by the Israeli government was not totally rolled over. The government recognizes the previous ownership of Arab entities if proven.
The Jordanian government holds the original ownership documents. Many building projects can’t get authorization because of this.
Har Homa is a classic example of how the government through privet groups of people managed to buy back the land.
New beginnings with old history – Har-Homa, Jerusalem.
