A bid has been forwarded by Israel’s so-called Jerusalem development authority to build a promenade in al-Zaytoun Mont (Mount of Olives) in Occupied Jerusalem.
According to a Thursday report by Haaretz daily the Jerusalem development authority advanced a plan to build a promenade in al-Zaytoun Mount connecting two settlement compounds in the Palestinian A-Tur neighborhood.
The local planning and construction committee also okayed the construction of a visitors’ center in the Jewish cemetery in al-Zaytoun Mount.
At the same time Elad settlement organization is planning the construction of a restaurant at a site in the Old City in Jabal al-Mukabbir.
According to Ir Amim organization the plan makes part of Israeli attempts to Judaize the eastern zones of the Old City attempts which have themselves been propped up by the hindrances set by the Israeli occupation authorities before Palestinians’ demands to obtain construction licenses as opposed to the unrestrained services offered to settlement projects.
