Gilo expansion to deepen Jerusalem isolation
Israeli occupation authorities are preparing to expand the Gilo settlement south of Jerusalem by constructing approximately 2,300 settlement units on an area of 195 dunams, with the aim of boosting southern expansion and linking the settlement to Givat Hummus and Har Homa. This would create a connected settlement bloc that encircles Palestinian areas. The plan includes expropriating lands, including decades-old olive orchards, to increase control over the region and divide Jerusalem from its surroundings in Bethlehem and the West Bank. This expansion seeks to deepen geographical separation and reduce opportunities for Palestinian growth, posing a significant threat to agricultural lands and the livelihoods of Palestinian farmers.
