Thursday 19-March-2020

The follow-up committee in the Jerusalem district of Issawiya has warned of a Judaization plan underway aimed at separating the towns and villages in the holy city as well as the neighborhoods around the Aqsa Mosque from each other.

In press remarks to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) member of the committee Mohamed Abul-Hems explained that the Israeli occupation state started to carry out settlement projects as part of the E1 plan on the lands of Issawiya at-Tur and Anata in the eastern areas of Jerusalem.

Abul-Hems said that the occupation state seeks to create besieged Palestinian villages and towns without contiguity or zoning and expansion plans as it had done already when it isolated Issawiya and at-Tur from each other with bypass roads for Jewish settlers.

He also affirmed that the occupation state seeks to isolate the Jerusalemite citizens from each other demolish their homes displace them from Jerusalem to the West Bank and connect Jewish settlements and outposts with each other.

“The E1 project will separate the northern West Bank from its south and Occupied Jerusalem” the Jerusalemite official pointed out adding that all roads linking Jericho city with Jerusalem and its neighborhoods like al-Eizariya with Ramallah would change.

He called for necessarily supporting the Jerusalemite people financially morally and politically and strengthening their steadfastness to protect their existence and curb the Judaization of the holy city.
