The Israeli regime is
planning to build over 1,200 new settler units in East al-Quds
(Jerusalem) and the West Bank despite international criticism.
The Israeli NGO, Peace Now, reported on Tuesday that Tel Aviv published tenders for 607 units in the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood and 606 units in Ramot, both in East al-Quds. The regime has also re-offered tenders for another 72 homes in the Ariel settlement in the West Bank.
The NGO had this to say “It seems that Netanyahu is afraid of the new administration that is being elected today in the US, and he has chosen the day of election to publish the tenders so that there will be the least public attention to his action,”
With all eyes on the US now and for the coming weeks Israel is taking full advantage of this with sharp increase in settlement building plans and settler’s violently attacking Palestinians.
Jewish settlers on Monday attacked a Palestinian family in East Jerusalem, forcing them from their homes, the family said.
Mahmoud Abu al-Hawa told Ma'an the settlers smashed the windows of his home in al-Tur and ransacked his elderly mother's room, causing her to pass out, he said.
An Israeli court has ruled that a relative of al-Hawa sold the home to the Elad settler association, he added.
