Jerusalem Planning Committee Reviews Settlement Projects Amidst Palestinian Displacement and Demolitions
DEFENSE
The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee is reviewing two significant settlement projects that threaten Palestinian communities: the Atarot plan for 9,000 housing units on the former airport site and the Nahalat Shimon plan, which would demolish the Um Haroun neighborhood for 316 units. These developments, along with a demolition campaign targeting Palestinian homes and the advancement of the 'Fabric of Life project' to connect Ma'ale Adumim with Jerusalem, raise concerns about Palestinian displacement and the viability of a two-state solution.
