JERUSALEM, August 29, 2011 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli settler groups are planning to seize Palestinian land in East Jerusalem neighborhoods in order to isolate them from the Old City, Monday said the Committee for the Defense of Silwan.
It said that the takeover of land has reached its high point with plans to build Talmudic parks around Jerusalem’s Old City Wall, particularly the area near Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The goal of these groups is to isolate Al-Aqsa Mosque from its surroundings in preparation for dividing it.
Based on the plan, the settlers seize abandoned Palestinian land, plant it with trees, surround it with fences and close roads leading to it from neighboring areas to prevent Palestinians from reaching their land, it said.
The committee called on Arab and Islamic rights groups to immediately intervene and invest in developing this land to save it from the Israeli plans.
