220-home project advanced for Jewish enclave in Arab neighborhood of East Jerusalem
A Jerusalem municipal committee has advanced a project for 220 homes to be built in a Jewish enclave in the middle of an Arab East Jerusalem neighborhood.
The project for Nof Tzion in Jabel Mukaber is still in its early planning stages, but could still gain final approval in the coming months.
Supporters of the plan — which follows an advancement of a similarly controversial project in Beit Hanina — say it is part of their effort to “Judaize” the eastern part of the capital.
