Israel Planning Jewish Neighborhood on Land Trump Slated for Palestinians

“As we get closer to the election, [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu promotes increasingly irresponsible steps,” said Aviv Tatarsky, a researcher at the left-wing nonprofit Ir Amim. “The construction of a huge neighborhood beyond the Green Line is an attempt to create irreversible facts on the ground. Israel cannot continue doing whatever it wants forever. Sooner or later, Israel and the Palestinians will understand that an arrangement with two capitals in Jerusalem is good for all of us. In thwarting such a possibility through steps like building a huge neighborhood, Netanyahu harms Jerusalem and its residents," he added.
