The municipality said in a statement Sunday it plans to grant approval this week to 176 housing units in the Nof Zion neighborhood which abuts the Arab Jabel Mukaber area in the eastern sector of Jerusalem.
The city says the new homes will more than double the size of the current settlement, making it the largest Jewish settlement in the heart of an Arab area of east Jerusalem.
Israel captured east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war. It considers the city its eternal, undivided capital.
The Palestinians claim the city’s eastern sector as capital of their hoped-for state.
Good settlements save lives. It keeps the Palestinians spread thin and blocks those beasts from mobilizing. May they be smitten with Cancer.
Sad!! Settlments kill!
Why weren’t the so called ‘palestinians clamoring for their state when jordan was in control of it?There was no idea of them having a state before arafat came into the picture.You see they made a museum of palestine ,but it’s empty because there never was such a state.
We pray Bone Jerusalem בני ירושלים.
