The Israeli government decided on Tuesday to confiscate 250 dunums of Palestinian lands east of occupied Jerusalem that would be allocated for the establishment of a new neighborhood following a long procedural process that lasted for years.
According to the website of the Israeli Channel Seven the confiscated lands will be allocated for the establishment of a new neighborhood that will include more than 2000 settlement units.
The website added that the Israeli Jerusalem municipality recently received an official letter from the Israeli Minister of Interior approving the annexation of these lands.
Jerusalem municipality in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing will soon start the construction of a new settlement neighborhood called Mordot Arnona on this land.
