Israeli Regime to Build 450 Settlement Units in Al-Quds: Report
This was revealed by the newspaper Haaretz earlier this week.
The settlement plan, the paper said, was submitted by a real estate company run by right-wing activists to build the 450 settlement units for Jews in the heart of a Palestinian residential area.
According to Haaretz, 12 dunams (3 acres) will be used between the Palestinian villages of Umm Lisan and Jabel Mukaber in East Jerusalem al-Quds.
The real estate company, Haaretz said, bought 80 per cent of the land in the area and the remaining part was allegedly owned by Jews before 1948.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said it rejected the plan, which "aims to separate Palestinian neighborhoods, towns and communities in al-Quds from each other."
In the statement, the ministry said that the Israeli regime is racing against time to implement its expansionist map of interests at the expense of Palestinian land and deepening the annexation of al-Quds.
