Israeli Group Uncovers Hotel Plan in Silwan
The Occupation authorities in Jerusalem are studying a plan to build a hotel with 39 rooms in Wadi al-Rababa, in the Silwan neighborhood south of Al-Aqsa Mosque, covering an area of approximately 2.4 dunams. There are concerns that this could be part of a tourism and settlement network aimed at expanding the activities of settler associations in the area. Local groups, such as "Ir Amim," have warned of a possible link between this project and settler organizations, especially given the expansion of the activities of the "Elad" organization since 2019, which has included archaeological and tourism projects funded by the occupation authorities to promote settlement expansion in the region. The approval of the hotel raises fears of strengthening the settler tourism corridor around Silwan and the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, as well as increasing pressure on the area's infrastructure and residential neighborhoods.
