Palestinian, European officials warn against implementation of Israeli settlement project in occupied Quds

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, June 08 (YPA) – Palestinian and European officials warned on Thursday against the Israeli occupation’s implementation of a huge settlement project in the east of the occupied city of Al-Quds.

Hebrew Public Broadcasting said that a major settlement planning committee would meet next week to discuss the controversial “E1” project in East Quds (Jerusalem).

The occupation radio stated that the settlement movement and the right-wing religious parties are seeking, through the implementation of the project, to build about 3,400 homes in a new neighborhood of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement.

Amal Jadou, Undersecretary of the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told reporters in Ramallah that the project poses a great danger as it destroys the possibility of a two-state solution, which is the solution adopted by the international community as a solution to the Palestinian cause.

She added that the European Union, the US administration, and the international community put pressure on Israel not to implement the project when it was developed under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Jadou warned that the implementation of the project would completely eliminate the possibility of communication between the north and south of the West Bank, cut it in the middle, and close the possibility of establishing a contiguous Palestinian state geographically.
