RAMALLAH, May 27 (NNN-WAFA) – The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Tuesday, condemned Israeli plan for development, in the city of Jerusalem, that Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu approved this week.
“The 57-million-U.S. dollar new plan, aims at deepening the Judaisation of the city by force and creating new facts, in favour of the occupation’s narrative and its false claims,” the foreign ministry said.
“All the money spent to execute the occupation’s plan and the Judaisation of Jerusalem will never succeed. All the occupation’s measures of repressions and settlement expansion, as well as, targeting the cultural identity will fail,” it added.
On Monday, Israeli Radio reported that Netanyahu instructed to prepare a 200-million-new shekel (57-million-U.S. dollar) plan, to develop the city of Jerusalem, and that the plan is to improve the infrastructure and develop tourism in the city.
The Palestinians want the eastern part of Jerusalem, which was occupied by Israel in 1967, to be the capital of the Palestinian state, while Israel insists that the city is the undivided eternal capital of Israel.– NNN-WAFA
