Hebrew media sources revealed on Thursday that the Israeli government is expected to approve a set of plans for the construction of hundreds of settlement units in Jerusalem that had been frozen for two years due to US pressures.
Israel Hayom newspaper reported on its website that the Jerusalem Planning and Building committee will hold a meeting next Wednesday to approve the construction of 700 new settlement units.
According to the plan, 500 settlement units will be built on an area of 71 dunums located between Ramat Shlomo settlement and Shu'fat neighborhood to the north of Jerusalem.
Israel's Jerusalem municipality claims that the lands where the housing units will be built are Jewish property and the lands where the streets and public buildings will be built are privately-owned Palestinian lands that are planned to be confiscated.
The committee is also expected to ratify the establishment of 200 settlement units in Ramot settlement built on the lands of the villages of Lifta, Beit Iksa and Beit Hanina in the northwestern part of East Jerusalem.
These settlement projects that have been re-activated recently east of the Green Line had been frozen during the term of the former US president, Barack Obama, due to pressures made by Washington and the international community.
On Wednesday, the Jerusalem municipality agreed to issue building permits for 176 settlement units in the heart of Jabal al-Mukabber neighborhood to the southeast of Occupied Jerusalem.
Haaretz newspaper reported that this scheme is aimed at expanding Nof Zion settlement outpost that was established in 1994 to become the largest of its kind in the heart of a Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem.
All Israeli settlements built in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem, are considered illegal by the United Nations and international community.
In December 2016, the UN Security Council adopted the resolution NO. (2334) which requires a complete halt for the settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The Israeli occupation forces at daybreak Thursday demolished a Palestinian house in Kirbet Yanoun, south of Nablus, at the same time as Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian olive pickers.
According to Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli activities in the north of the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army has been holding military training in the area over the past few days and during this time has demolished the house that belonged to Udwan Bani Jaber.
It was not immediately known how the house was demolished, added Daghlas, stressing that the owner has never received demolition order against it.
Daghlas said Bani Jaber was forced to abandon his 100-square meter house in 2013 following repeated attacks against him and his family by Israeli settlers in the area.
At the same time, Israeli settlers attacked three Palestinian families while picking olives in Nablus’s eastern town of Deir al-Hatab town, near Elon Moreh illegal settlement.

Israeli soldiers invaded, Wednesday, the al-Walaja village, northwest of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, installed barbed wires along the Annexation Wall, built on the villagers’ lands, and handed a demolition order targeting one home.
Ibrahim Awad, a local activist in al-Walaja, said the soldiers installed barbed wires along the Annexation Wall, extending from the village’s northern entrance near the Cremisan Monastery all the way to al-Hadafa Spring area.
Awad added that the soldiers also invaded Ein Jweiza area, in the northern part of al-Walaja, and handed a demolition order against a two-story home, owned by Mahmoud Mohammad Radwan, under the allegation of being built without a permit.
It is worth mentioning that the army previously issued many similar orders targeting homes in the same area; some were demolition orders, and others were orders to halt construction, which is usually the step that precedes demolition.
The wall and the illegal Israeli colonies have isolated al-Walaja from several directions, except for its road leading to Beit Jala city, and are isolating the Palestinians from approximately 3000 dunams of their lands, where the Jerusalem City Council is planning a metropolitan park for Israelis.

The Israeli water company Gihon cut off water to a number of Palestinian homes in the Silwan neighborhood in east Jerusalem, and on the same day issued demolition notices to several homes in the neighborhood.
The new notices come just two days after another wave of demolition notices were issued to Palestinian homeowners in Silwan.
Silwan has long been a target of Israeli authorities, who identified the neighborhood in the E1 Jerusalem plan as a target of expansion, where the Israeli government plans to expel the Palestinian homeowners and build Jewish-only settlements in their places.
202 Palestinians have been rendered homeless in East Jerusalem this year by Israeli authorities forcibly removing them from their homes and then demolishing those houses.
Palestinian homeowners are denied permits for construction close to 100% of the time, since Israel occupied Jerusalem in 1967.

The Israeli authorities on Wednesday morning demolished all Palestinian homes of the Bedouin village of Araqib in the Negev desert for the 120th consecutive time at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
Local sources said that Israeli bulldozers escorted by police forces stormed the village and embarked on removing all crude homes and tents.
Dozens of Bedouin citizens, including children, have become homeless anew and will suffer from the cold weather for a while before they could have new makeshift homes again.
Araqib residents live in a constant state of fear because they expect the demolition of their village at any moment after they rebuild it.
However, such Israeli arbitrary, criminal and inhumane policy of demolition, uprooting and displacement will only increase the residents’ resolve and adherence to their land and village even if Israel demolishes it thousands of times, as they themselves repeatedly declared.
Al-Araqib is one of several Bedouin villages in the Negev desert, which are "unrecognized" by Israel.
The demolition of al-Araqib and other villages in the Negev is a systematic Israeli policy aimed at expelling the native population from the Negev and transferring them to government-zoned areas to pave the way to expand and build settlements for Jewish communities.

The Israeli government has issued orders expropriating Palestinian land near the illegal settlement of Halamish, northwest of Ramallah, a local activist said on Monday.
Mohammad Tamimi, from the anti-settlements committee, told WAFA that farmers from the village of Nabi Saleh were surprised to find out when they went to their lands to harvest olives that the army would not let them enter it, and ordered them to go back.
He said that the soldiers passed on notices to the farmers informing them that their land will be confiscated “for security reasons,” the excuse Israel always uses to justify illegal acts.
Tamimi says the land seizure is clearly intended to expand the settlement of Halamish, which has been growing in area at the expense of area Palestinian villages ever since three Israeli settlers were killed in that settlement by a Palestinian attacker few months ago.
He said the anti-settlements committee is going to contest this order.

A Palestinian committee in the city of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, has reportedly received an order by the Israeli Supreme Court to evacuate a group of Israeli settlers illegally occupying a Palestinian home in the area.
The home, which belongs to the Abu Rajab family, has been embroiled in a legal battle with Israeli settlers who claim that they purchased the rights to the home, though the Palestinian homeowners and the Israeli state have maintained that the settlers forged the documents.
Despite several court orders preventing the settlers from moving into the home, they forcibly took over the home in late July.
The state of Israel ordered the 15 settlers families living in the Abu Rajab house to evacuate last month, however, the Israeli Supreme Court ordered, in September, to delay the evacuation, based on an appeal submitted by the settlers.
According to Palestinian activists, who held a sit-in protest in front of the home on Friday, the Hebron Reconstruction Committee “was able to issue an order by the Israeli Supreme Court to evacuate Israeli settlers of the Abu Rajab building as it was proven that their entrance to the building was not legal.”
During the sit-in, Israeli forces detained coordinator of the Youth against Settlement group Issa Amro, according to Ma’an News Agency.
Located in the center of Hebron — one of the largest cities in the occupied West Bank — the Old City was divided into Palestinian and Israeli-controlled areas, H1 and H2, following the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre. The Abu Rajab home is located near to this mosque.
Some 800 notoriously aggressive Israeli settlers now live under the protection of the Israeli military in the Old City, surrounded by more than 30,000 Palestinians.
Palestinian residents of the Old City face a large Israeli military presence on a daily basis, with at least 20 checkpoints set up at the entrances of many streets, as well as the entrance of the Ibrahimi Mosque itself.

Israeli bulldozers on Sunday demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the Arab city of Lod, in Israel, under the pretext it was built without permit.
Member of the local popular committee, Mohamed Shreiki, said Israeli bulldozers, under the protection of Israeli police, demolished the house of al-Faqir family, leaving the family members homeless for the second time.
Shreiki said tension has been running high in the area due to the arbitrary demolitions carried out by the Israeli municipality against Palestinian homes in the city.
A couple of months ago, the family’s home was knocked down under the same pretext. Left without a roof over their head, the family reconstructed the house, before it was reduced to rubble by the Israeli bulldozers.
Palestinians say they are forced to build without permit because getting permits from the all-Israeli municipality is impossible.
Israel, as part of its demographic war against the Palestinians, plans to keep the number of Palestinians to a minimum while multiplying the number of Israelis by building thousands of homes for them while denying Palestinians the right to construction permits.

The al-Ein al-Jadeeda area is a historic site the dates to the Mamluk era, and is under the supervision of the Islamic Waqf and Endowment Department, but the colonists frequently target it.
The legal office of the Hebron Construction Committee has been trying to stop these violations by heading to Israeli courts and filing appeals against the ongoing violations, but the colonists continue their illegal takeover, amidst encouragement by some Israeli leaders, in addition to the inaction of the Israeli military and the ‘legal system’, that runs the illegal occupation of Palestine.
