An Israeli government committee is scheduled to discuss next Monday a settlement plan that would isolate occupied East Jerusalem and divide the West Bank. A Palestinian official revealed that 22,<> Palestinian-owned homes in Jerusalem are threatened with demolition.
The plan provides for the construction of 1,3412 settlement units on Palestinian land east of Jerusalem, under which a bloc of settlements will be established between Ma'ale Adumim and Jerusalem. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the plan blocks the opportunity to materialize the Palestinian state on the ground with East Jerusalem as its capital.
