The Israeli occupation authorities recently announced a new settlement plan targeting the village of Al-Malha, west of Jerusalem, which has been under occupation since 1948.


The “Israel Lands Authority” published an announcement for an initial tender to build 550 settlement units within the “Givat Mashua” settlement on the slopes of the mountains of the abandoned village of Malha.

Based on the publication of the tender announcement, the door for submitting proposals for construction plans will be opened to Israeli companies until 2/19/2023.

The settlement expansion project for “Givat Mashua” aims to expand on the green slopes that contain thousands of historical fruit trees in the area to increase the number of settlers in the area, as part of the general policy pursued by the occupation to promote Judaization in the two parts of occupied Jerusalem.
