'Israel' to expand Pisgat Ze'ev illegal settlement
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli sources revealed that the Israeli municipality of occupied Jerusalem is planning for expanding the illegal settlement of Pisgat Ze'ev in the occupied city.
The new settlement project, supervised by the municipality of Jerusalem, will cost NIS 350 million, according to Israeli Hayom.
The project included the construction of 900 new settlement units and malls, as well as a railroad to connect the settlement with the Israeli train line in the western part of occupied Jerusalem.
The illegal settlement of Pisgat Ze'ev was created on Palestinian land occupied in 1967. It was expanded several times to form a barrier that separates Palestinian villages from the holy city.
Israeli forces have detained and kidnapped more than 23,000 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank and eastern Jerusalem since the start of the Gaza genocide, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, which warns of escalating abuses, mass arrests of women and children, and thousands held under enforced disappearance.
