“Israel” To Build 5000 Units in Al Quds, West Bank
The "Israeli" Housing Ministry is planning to build and market nearly 5000 new units for Jewish settlers in occupied East Al Quds (Jerusalem) and the occupied West Bank.
Lawyer Qais Yousef Nasser, a specialist in Construction and Planning Laws, stated that the "Israeli" Housing Ministry sold in 2010 more than 1400 units in settlements in occupied East Al Quds (Jerusalem) and the West Bank, and that these units were mainly sold in Homat Shmoel settlement, Maaleh Adumim settlement block, and Pisgat Zeev.
Nasser also stated that on November 25, 2010, the so-called "Construction and Planning Committee" in Jerusalem declared plans for the construction of 1230 units in Jabal Abu Ghneim (Har Homa), Homat Shmoel and Ramot.
These constructions are part of a plan that was presented several months ago also advocating for the construction of 1961 units in Ramat Shlomo settlement in Al Quds (Jerusalem).
"Israel" claims that settlement activities should not impact the efforts to resume peace talks with the Palestinians, while "Israel's" Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his government said that the Palestinians are making excuses, and that "Israel" wants to resume talks.
All settlements in the occupied territories are illegal under the International Law and the Fourth Geneva Conventions.
