Jerusalemite center: IOA executing biggest colonialist scheme in occupied Jerusalem.

The Quds center for social and economic rights has warned of an unprecedented colonialist project currently being implemented by the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) in occupied Jerusalem. The center in a report published on Saturday described the vicinity of the Old City of Jerusalem as a large construction site, the “biggest since 1967”. It said that the IOA was digging tunnels, building a complicated transportation network that would link settlements with each other and with the center of the holy city in addition to intensifying construction of more settlements in the heart of Jerusalem’s suburbs. The report said that the IOA was persisting in demolishing Jerusalemite homes and canceling residence permits of the indigenous inhabitants of the city. The center said in another statement on Saturday that more than 125,000 Jerusalemite Palestinians were in danger of losing their residence in the city as opposed to 50,000 as earlier reported by a Hebrew daily.
