Jerusalem faces new settlement expansion
The article pertains to Israeli expansion and settlement policies in Jerusalem. In 2025, the Jerusalem Municipality approved the construction of nearly 7,200 settlement units covering approximately 1,657 dunams, as part of a strategy to assert control over the city. The new projects include plans to build thousands of units in initiatives such as "E1," a settlement complex in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, and the expansion of the Adam settlement. Additionally, there are plans to demolish the Khan al-Ahmar community and evacuate its residents, as well as schemes to hinder access to Al-Aqsa Mosque by expropriating properties along the Silsila Gate Road and expanding control over vital areas in the city to reinforce its Jewish character and undermine the Palestinian presence.
