Over 1200 Jewish settlers from the illegal settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev in Occupied Jerusalem recently signed a petition calling for preventing the establishment of a Palestinian industrial and commercial zone in the nearby town of Shuafat.
According the Hebrew newspaper Iroshalim the petition claims that this Palestinian business zone will be created near roads leading to Pisgat Ze’ev and thus any riots that may occur in the area would impose a closure on the settlement.
The settlers also expressed fears in their petition that the value of housing units will fall and that the settlement would also be exposed to security threats.
They threatened that any member of the municipal council in the holy city supports this project would not be welcome in the settlement or dealt with adding that they would also boycott the political party which this member belongs to during elections.
However there is still no information when this project will be carried out the newspaper noted.
