Israeli occupation authorities issue tender for 3,401 settlement units east of occupied city of Al-Quds

RAMALLAH, Jan. 07 (YPA) – The head of the Commission against the Wall and Settlements, Minister Mu’ayyad Sha’ban, said that Israeli authorities, represented by the so-called “Israel Land Authority,” have issued a major tender for the construction of 3,401 settlement units in the area designated as E1, east of occupied city of Al- Quds (Jerusalem).

In a statement, he affirmed that this step constitutes a highly dangerous escalation in the repercussions of the accelerated assault on Palestinian lands through colonial settlement plans.

Sha’ban emphasized that the occupation  authorities have effectively moved from the planning and approval phase to the implementation phase with regard to this plan, which is one of the most dangerous colonial schemes that had been nominally frozen for three decades.
