OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Director of maps and survey center at the Orient House Khalil Tufakji revealed on Sunday that Israel intends to build 625 new housing units in Pisgat Ze’ev settlement, that were established on Palestinian lands in Hezma and Beit Hanina areas in east Jerusalem. Tufakji said that this Israeli plan is aimed at expanding this settlement and building a new Jewish neighborhood, noting that Israel also will build a park on an area of 300 dunums after establishing this neighborhood. He also affirmed that Israel plans to establish a railway between Tel Aviv and its settlements in the West Bank in order to connect these settlements with the costal region, to separate the northern West Bank from its south and to ethnically cleanse the Jordan valley region of its people. The official stressed that these settlement projects are part of the Israeli policy that consider occupied Jerusalem a national priority and the Jewish capital. |
