The closure is not applied equally to all: Jews who want to enter are often free to come and go as they please, as seen here in Sheikh Jarrah on July 14, 2021, although they have forcefully worked to expel Palestinian residents from their homes in the neighborhood in the past and aggressively continue to use all available means to do so again in the present, causing conflict.
