Prime Minister Benjamin Naziyahu said Thursday that his Nazi regime will build thousands of homes for Jews in predominantly Palestinian eastern illegally occupied Jerusalem.
Naziyahu said he would lift the construction ban on the Nazi Jewish Givat Hamatos settlement , giving the go-ahead for 3,000 housing units that were first approved in 2012, and announced the approval of 2,200 units in the Har Homa . Har Homa, established in 1997, has about 37,000 residents.
“We are connecting Jerusalem,” Naziyahu said while visiting Har Homa with Jerusalem Mayor Nazi Moshe Lion. “We are connecting all parts of the united Jerusalem, the rebuilt Jerusalem. It is a source of great pride and is great news for the entire people of Israel.”
Peace Now criticized the approval as an election ploy — voting in ‘Israel’ is on March 2 — and said the new settlement housing would be a serious blow to a future Palestinian state.
“This is the last point that can allow territorial contiguity between Bethlehem and East Jerusalem — the most significant Palestinian metropolitan area — and if the neighborhood is built, it will not be possible to connect the two cities,” Peace Now said in a statement. “Such a policy change cannot be passed in a transitional government without a mandate from the public.”
