Expert warns of escalated pace of Israeli illegal settlement near Aqsa

Friday 3-February-2017

Jerusalem affairs expert Fakhri Abu Diab warned of the escalated pace of Israel’s settlement and Judaization schemes in Occupied Jerusalem.

Speaking with PIC spokesman of Silwan’s Defense Committee Fakhri Abu Diab said Israeli attempts have been on full swing to finalize the excavation of 27 tunnels.

Abu Dhiab added that a number of tunnels and so-called “Talmudic tracks” have been dug beneath and around the holy al-Aqsa Mosque as part of underway attempts to impose a new fait accompli and alter Jerusalem’s Islamic identity.

At the same time the Israeli municipality has issued demolition and evacuation orders against structures housing 10000 Palestinians in Wadi Qadrun under the unlicensed construction pretext paving the way for more land grab and illegal settlement expansion.

The researcher further warned of the underway establishment of a Talmudic park over an area covering 470 donums of Palestinian land in Silwan.

Israel’s settlement construction bids and Judaization schemes have gone unabated over recent weeks following the swearing-in of U.S. President Donald Trump.
