On Thursday morning, the Hebrew media revealed that the occupation municipality in Jerusalem had approved the second part of the so-called project (strengthening southeastern Jerusalem).

The Hebrew media reported that the plan was approved and is still subject to development according to the last line in yesterday’s decision, which is set at 7,300 metres. The plan includes the demolition of existing residential buildings and the construction of three 30-story settlement towers with 35 new settlement units, in addition to the construction of a center designated for general purposes for day care centers, kindergartens, and Jewish synagogues, and the construction of a commercial facade towards Silver Officer Street and Hebron Street.

The plan also includes, according to what was revealed by the Hebrew media, the construction of sports facilities, arenas, parking lots, playgrounds, and open areas between the three towers, which will completely change the appearance of the area to become a commercial and economic attraction for settlers south of the Holy City.

In this context, the military governor in Beit El approved a plan to expand the (Givat Binyamin) settlement north of occupied Jerusalem at the expense of Palestinian lands in the village of Jaba and expand the (Kfar Adumim) settlement at the expense of the lands of the village of Anata.

Since the beginning of the year, the occupation municipality has approved three projects in this area, while the military governor has approved a number of settlement plans before and after the takeover of the extreme right-wing government led by Netanyahu, amounting to more than 4,700 settlement units to expand settlements in the southern West Bank and connect them to the southeast of occupied Jerusalem with a bypass road network by 4,762 dunams.
