RAMALLAH, (PIC)– Khalil al-Tafakji, geographer at the Arab Studies Society in Jerusalem, said that the Zionist plan to build 60,000 settlement units in the next 20 years in occupied Jerusalem, aims to change the demography of the city.

In an interview with the “Sawt Falastin” newspaper on Tuesday he said that in the year 2030 according to this plan, the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem would drop to 12% and the Jewish presence would rise to 88% which means the concept of dividing Jerusalem between two states will be impossible.

He added that these settlement units will be built all over Jerusalem, in settlements built after the occupation in 1967 as well as Arab neighbourhoods to change the demographic facts of the city.

He further said that the timing of the announcement aims to direct two messages. The first message to the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, which says that Jerusalem is the united capital of one state; the “Jewish State”. The second message is to the international community and says that Jerusalem is the capital for all Jews in the world and that building in Jerusalem is the same as building in Tel Aviv.

He further explained that these tens of thousands of settlement units were part of plan 2020 which was prepared in 1994 , the plan has now been upgraded to plan 2030.

Maariv published a report last Sunday about Zionist plans to build 60,000 settlement units in Jerusalem.
