            The Israeli Ministry of Housing and Construction published a tender for the construction of 459 housing units in the settlement of Ma’aleh Adumim as part of the “Housing Discounted” project. According to the tender, the buildings will be built in five different plots. Netanyahu is in contact with the Mayor of Ma’aleh Adumim has personally informed him the approval of the construction of 459 housing units. The highest-priced project in Israel is expected to be built in the Givat Ze’ev settlement this year.

            The occupation authorities are also considering a plan to double the size of the settlement of Har Gilo in a way that isolates the Palestinian village of Walaja and leads to the seizure of vast areas of its land to expand Har Gilo. The plan includes the construction of 330 new housing units, public institutions, fuel station, gardens and others.

Moreover, to the east of Hebron, Israeli occupation forces repressed a protest against the seizure of ​​more than 20 donums in the Bani Naim town in the ​​Hamra area in order to expand the settlement of “Bani Hefer.” On the other hand, the Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry, Eli Cohen, broke into the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron under the protection of the occupation forces, amid strict security procedures, and prevented citizens from reaching there.

 

            The National Bureau for the Defense of Land and Resistance of Settlement, welcomed the adoption by the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – UNESCO at its 42nd meeting in the Bahraini capital, Manama, the two important resolutions on the cities of Jerusalem and Hebron unanimously agreed by the 21 members of the World Heritage Committee.  The resolutions call for the cessation of violations that would change the character of the city.

Thus, the National Bureau considers this vote as a victory for Palestine in light of settlement escalation, and in conjunction with the fierce aggression against the Islamic and Christian sanctities and the confiscation of our land.
