AhlulBayt News Agency - The weekly Hebrew newspaper Iroshalim revealed in its latest edition an Israeli plan to build 900 new housing units in Pisgat Ze'ev settlement east of occupied Jerusalem.
The Israeli Municipality declared that the Building and Housing Ministry supports the establishment of 900 new housing units in Pisgat Ze'ev settlement, according to the newspaper.
Numerous meetings were held with representatives of nearby Israeli settlements to discuss the plan, the paper reported, saying that there is a tentative agreement on it.
Along the same line, the newspaper said that Israeli Antiquities Authority will soon start excavations near the Old City’s walls in occupied Jerusalem as a prelude to establish a public park in the area.
Iroshalim claimed that the excavations started after obtaining a green light from the Greek-Orthodox Church which owns the land.
The new park is scheduled to be established on an area of five dunums near the Old City’s walls.
