Hebrew-speaking media have unraveled Israeli plans to grab hold of a park in the Palestinian village of Jabal al-Mukabbir east of Occupied Jerusalem in favor of Israeli settlers and tourists.
According to Yorshalim weekly the occupation authorities have set plans to Judaize the High Commissioner’s Palace Park in Jabal al-Mukabbir and turn it into a recreational area for Israeli settlers and visitors.
The move makes part of a so-called al-Tala Plan aiming to establish over 1000 hotel rooms. The plan supervised by the Jerusalem Development Authority is under study.
Another plan forwarded by Elad settlement organization suggests the renovation of a side area in the park so as to turn it into an attractive site for tourists. The plan received the approbation of the so-called Local Construction and Planning Committee. It is expected to be put into effect sometime soon.
