A hearing is expected to be held on Monday by Israel’s Central Court in Occupied Jerusalem to decide on appeals filed by the Wadi Hilweh Committee in Silwan over an Israeli settlement project near al-Aqsa Mosque.
A few years ago the Wadi Hilweh Committee objected Israel’s so-called Kedim settlement project slated to be carried out in front of holy al-Aqsa Mosque. In 2015 the bid failed to receive official approbation.
In March 2016 a new committee approved the settlement scheme turning down all appeals submitted to the Israeli courts and authorities to cancel the plan.
Lawyer Sami Ersheid has proceeded with another objection to Israel’s Central Court. The latter will decide on the case on Monday.
