Israeli Fascist Settlers renew Assaults against Palestinians and their Properties in the West Bank

The National Bureau condemned the attack by the Jewish terrorist organization known as “Pay the Price” against Palestinian vehicles in Shu’fat – Jerusalem, which resulted in damaging 30 cars’ tires. In the Naoor village, Jalil, they also wrote racist slogans and barbaric words against our Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him. Furthermore, they set fire to Palestinian agricultural land belonging to the Burin village near Nablus, burning dozens of olive trees, besides, bulldozing lands and closing roads in Jenin. The National Bureau hols the Netanyahu government responsibility for the return of “Pay the Price” to commit crimes against our people and their properties .

At the same time, the National Bureau considered the Knesset’s resolution in the preliminary reading of the so-called “National Law” as serious and apartheid one that was added to the list of racist laws approved by the Knesset, and included in the campaign led by the Israeli government against the Palestinians, which states that “the State of Israel is the national home for the Jew” and that “the right to self-determination in the State of Israel is limited to the Jewish people”. The law provides also “the language of the state is Hebrew” and changes the status of the Arabic language from official one to a language with a special position.

Recently, scores of members Knesset signed a petition to the of Israeli construction company “United Jerusalem Fund, which calls for marketing of land owned by the company near the Ma’ale Adumim settlement”, built by force on a Palestinian lands. The company looks forward to establish a new settlement in the site based on a government’s decision issued in the 1980s, and the United Jerusalem Fund is not a political association or movement, but a private company headed by Gad Gabriel that seeks to establish a settlement on a hill adjacent to the Ma’aleh Adumim settlement.

Within the context, it was revealed that attorney, Harel Arnon, who represents Israel before the courts to defend the law of legalizing outposts, and confiscation of Palestinian land lives in an illegal apartment in the Elazar settlement within the Gush Etzion settlement near Bethlehem. Moreover, the member of the Knesset, who submitted the draft law on the confiscation of Palestinian land and the legislation of outposts’ lives in a house, built on private Palestinian land inside the settlement of Kedumim. Head of the illegal law enforcement unit, Beit Avi Cohen, also lives in an illegally built apartment at the Mime Bilg outpost between Nablus and Ramallah.

The Israeli Ministry of Housing and the Occupation Jerusalem municipality have drafted an agreement to build more than 28,000 housing units in Jerusalem in the coming decade. PM Netanyahu will present the agreement to Trump during his upcoming visit to Jerusalem after a week. The agreement provides government compensation to the local authorities to complete the transportation network and educational institutions, it was learned also that 15,000 of those units will be built in the West Bank lands in the neighbourhoods of “Givat Hamtos, East Talpiot, Ramot, Bazat Zayeib, Navi Yacoub, Gilo and Atrot.” An advanced industrial zone will also be established and scores of public institutions, kindergartens, schools and others. But within the Jerusalem’s borders, 10,000 settlement units will be built in Lifta, Fatfat, Nazlah, Moshab Uri Mshoka, Rummah, Herzog, Ktumunim, Arnona and Milhah’s project submitted by the “Yoav Galant” that estimated at about US $ 5,000,000,000.

Sources close to Israeli PM Netanyahu said that a new Israeli settlement will be built instead of the Amona outpost within 4 months after approval of the construction plans by the competent authority. Deputy Foreign Minister, Tzipi Hatubili inquired during the Likud meeting about the delay of erecting the alternative outpost, as the Netanyahu’s bureau chief, Yoav Horowitz, replied that it would be preferable to follow the normal procedures for the establishment of a new housing community, and not by military commander’s order, because this would raise objections of some parties that would oppose the establishment of a new settlement.
