Israel mulls building largest settlement inside Palestinian neighborhood: NGO

‘The Israeli regime is thinking over granting construction permits that will create the largest settlement inside a Palestinian neighborhood, an NGO says.
According to Peace Now, an anti-settlement Israeli NGO, the Local Committee for Planning and Construction of Jerusalem al-Quds was discussing on Sunday issuing permits for constructing 176 settler units in the heart of the predominantly Arab neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, which is located east of the city.
The project allows for an expansion of the Nof Zion settlement as new houses, whose plans have already been approved, will be built on top of the existing 91 units.
According to the NGO, granting building permits for the new units is the last major bureaucratic step and the approvals will make Nof Zion the biggest Israeli settlement inside any Palestinian neighborhood.’
