Gaza : Construction has begun on another 60 housing units in the Jewish neighborhood of Maaleh Hazeitim, in East Jerusalem’s Ras Al-Amud section, according to the Haaretz on Tuesday.
The newspaper said the new construction, with a municipal permit, “is being carried out by Kedumim 3000, a company headed by Nachman Zoldan, father of Ido Zoldan who was murdered two months ago in a terror attack near Kedumim.” It added, “Right-wing activists ascribe great significance to widening Jewish construction in Ras Al-Amud, and to realizing ownership of lots and buildings that it has managed to acquire in recent years in that vicinity.” According to their thinking, Maaleh Hazeitim made it harder to create a Palestinian territorial corridor, a sort of “safe passage” between the West Bank to the east, and the Temple Mount.
