Awake Goy Days of Palestine, West Bank –Israeli occupation government approved on Wednesday plans to build 891 new settlement units in occupied East Jerusalem.
Israeli Jerusalem planning committee approved the construction of the new housing units in the southern Jewish-only Gilo Settlement in occupied East Jerusalem, which lies beyond the green line.
Initial approval for this plan was given in 2012, but was postponed due to some adjustments.
Zionists occupied East Jerusalem during in 1967 and it was later annexed to the Western part of the holy city, which was occupied in 1948, in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish state – a move never recognised by the international community.
International law views the West Bank and East Jerusalem as occupied territories, considering all Jewish settlement building on the land to be illegal.
Palestinians accuse the Israeli occupation of waging an aggressive campaign to judaise the city with the aim of effacing its Arab and Islamic identity and ultimately driving out its Palestinian inhabitants.
About 550,000 illegal Israeli settlers now live in more than 100 Jewish-only settlements built since the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967.
The Palestinians want these areas, along with the Gaza Strip, in which to establish their future state.
