9,000 new Israeli homes planned for east Jerusalem

The Housing Ministry filed a request last week for the construction of 9,000 new Israeli homes in the Atarot area of east Jerusalem, reported Peace Now on Tuesday. The announcement comes as the Transportation Ministry advances plans to extend the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv high speed train to the Western Wall.

The new homes would be located between the Palestinian neighborhoods of Kafr 'Aqab, Qalandiya and Al-Ram in Jerusalem. The approval process for the Housing Ministry's request is expected to take years. If approved, this will be the first new neighborhood in east Jerusalem since Har Homa was established in 1997.
