Another plan would require the eviction of four Palestinian families to build a five-story building with 10 apartments.

In addition to these two plans, the so-called the Jerusalem District Planning Commission is expected to discuss another plan aims to establish a Talmudic religious school in an open space in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, not far from a gas station, although the law prevents the construction of public buildings near gas stations.
