New Settlement Scheme to Build 1100 Hotel Rooms in Jerusalem

The Islamic-Christian Committee for the Support of Jerusalem and Holy Sites warned on Tuesday of the Zionist occupation authorities' decision to approve building 1100 hotel rooms on the road to al-Khalil in Jerusalem city, beyond the Green Line.

Secretary General of the Committee, Dr. Hanna Issa, said in a press statement issued by the Committee: "Israel is working day and night to make Jerusalem its eternal capital."
He pointed out that the Israeli occupation's accelerated construction of the settlements and separation wall around East Jerusalem aims to strengthen Israel's control over the Old City and the majority of the neighborhoods in East Jerusalem.
Dr Hanna also stressed on the seriousness of the occupation authorities' recent procedures of seizing the Palestinian lands, including the city of Jerusalem, and which is seen by all the norms, laws and international resolutions as a flagrant unacceptable aggression.
The Islamic-Christian Committee called on the international community to face these successive settlement projects and to defend the Arab identity of Jerusalem against the wave of Judaization, destruction displacements and construction of settlements and Jewish neighborhoods.
