Israel mulls new settlement plan in Jerusalem suburbs
The Jerusalem Local Planning and Building Committee is scheduled to discuss a new settlement plan to construct the illegal settlement of Nof Zion established in Jabal Al-Mukabir town, southeast of Occupied Jerusalem.
 
The plan aims at the construction of 100 new settlement units and 275 hotel rooms at the entrance to the Palestinian town of Jabal Al-Mukabir.
 
Israeli left-wing association Ir Amim said that the committee will discuss objections submitted against the plan.
 
“If the plan is ultimately approved, it will transform Nof Zion from an isolated settler enclave to a contiguous built-up extension of East Talpiyot,” the association warned.
 
It pointed out that Nof Zion is on its way to become the largest settlement in the heart of a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem with a capacity of 400 settlement units.
 
“There are currently 95 housing units in the Nof Zion settlement,” the association underlined, adding that some additional 200 settlement units are under construction.
 
The association concluded that the expansion of the Nof Zion settlement could not have been carried out without state and municipal support although it is being promoted as a private initiative by real estate developers.
