Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli authorities approve a major expansion of an East Jerusalem neighborhood, signing off on plans to add 176 homes, the city’s deputy mayor says.
The expansion would create the largest Jewish neighborhood inside a Palestinian neighborhood of the city, NGOs say. It will allow the Nof Zion neighborhood, located inside the Palestinian neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, to add 176 housing units to its 91 existing homes.
The plans were approved by a Jerusalem planning committee, Deputy Mayor Meir Turjeman says.
