Land, property theft & destruction / Ethnic cleansing / Apartheid Report: Israel plans 50,000 houses in Jerusalem  Israel's Jerusalem municipality plans to build more than 50,000 new homes in the city's occupied eastern sector over two decades, Israeli media reported on Sunday. A study commissioned by Israel's Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barakat to address housing shortages in the city, obtained by Hebrew daily Maariv, shows designs for 60,718 housing units in the city, with the majority -- 52,363 homes -- planned for East Jerusalem. Most of the city's land available for construction lies in the eastern sector, with West Jerusalem lacking viable sites, the study says...The vast majority of land on which Jerusalem is built, including the settlements in the city's occupied eastern sector, is state land, and the property built on it can be purchased by anyone who is an Israeli citizen, or who is Jewish. Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem, very few of whom have Israeli citizenship, must first obtain a special permit to purchase land or property there. Rights groups say such permission is virtually unheard of. http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=435428
J'lem construction in next decades -- mostly on occupied territory [with map]This is not a Peace Now report, but an official document of the Jerusalem Municipality: According to a survey conducted at the request of the mayor’s office, 60,718 new housing units are slated for construction in Jerusalem in the next decades. Of those, 52,363 of them will be built east of the Green Line, in the territory annexed to Israel after the Six-Day War. http://972mag.com/most-of-jerusalems-construction-in-next-decades-–-on-occupied-territory/27151/
