OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority sold around 1400 settlement units to Jews in occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank in 2010, Qais Yousef Nasser, a settlement expert, said on Monday.

He added in a statement that most of those units were sold in Mod’in, Har Homa, Ma’aleh Adumim, Beitar Elit, and Givat Ze’ev settlements.

Nasser, a lawyer by profession, warned that the Israeli housing ministry was planning to build and market about 5000 new housing units in occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank other than the construction of 3300 other units in occupied Jerusalem settlements.

The Palestinian minister of endowments and religious affairs in Gaza, Dr. Taleb Abu Shaar, drew the attention to the seriousness of the Israeli construction streak in occupied Jerusalem.

He added in a press release on Monday that the “cancerous” spread of settlement activity in the holy city constituted a real provocation for the entire Arab and Islamic nations.

The minister called for supporting Jerusalem and its inhabitants financially and morally in face of such growing Judaization threats.
