Jerusalem settlement projects fast-tracked before elections
In recent weeks, the Israeli government has approved three large settlement projects in occupied Jerusalem, encompassing over 3,400 new housing units. The plans include establishing a new settlement in Umm Tuba with around 650 units, expanding the Gilo settlement by more than 2,300 units, and developing 450 units in the Umm Lesoun neighborhood. These measures aim to strengthen Israeli control over the city, fragment Palestinian neighborhoods, and complicate any prospects for a future political settlement. They are part of a comprehensive policy carried out ahead of elections to deepen the separation of Jerusalem from the West Bank.
