’Israel’ Okays al-Quds Settlement Construction Prior to Kerry’s Visit
Local Editor
The "Israeli" occupation illegally approved on Wednesday the construction of a settlement in occupied al-Quds prior to US Secretary of State John Kerry's visit for so-called peace talks.
The United Nations Human Rights Council has said in January that "Israeli" settlements amount to "creeping annexation" of Palestinian territories by "Israel" and have taken a "heavy toll" on the rights and sovereignty of Palestinians.
On Wednesday, Meir Margalit, a Jerusalem City Council member from the left-wing Meretz party, criticized Wednesday's settlement approval and described it as "provocation" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
"This is a provocation by Netanyahu's government when John Kerry is coming to re-start the negotiations," Meir Margalit, a Council member in al-Quds said.
"To approve these houses in Har Homa, or also known as Jabal Abu Ghneim in [al-Quds], is a foolish move," Margalit said.
Brachie Sprung, an advisor to the Jerusalem mayor noted that thousands of housing units are expected to be built throughout occupied al-Quds in coming years.
