Describing the news as a shock to his family and the entire neighbourhood, Basbous highlights that his family has lived in the home for generations, from his grandparents to his children. Despite describing the situation as "forced displacement" and noting the difficult conditions, he vows to remain steadfast in Jerusalem and refuses to leave the city, even if forced out of his house.
