Two Israeli Knesset members have been advancing a new project to annex Maaleh Adumim and Gush Etzion settlements to occupied Jerusalem.
According to Maariv Hebrew newspaper the MKs Yehuda Glick (Likud) and Betzalel Smotrich (the Jewish Home) are scheduled to submit their proposal for Knesset discussion on Monday.
The proposal aims to connect the illegal Maaleh Adumim and Gush Etzion settlements to the occupied holy city of Jerusalem.
On Dec. 23 2016 the UN Security Council has voted in favor of a resolution demanding the halt of settlement activity by Israel on occupied Palestinian territory with the United States notably abstaining.
