Bethlehem/PNN/ Report By Madeeha Al-A’raj
The National Bureau for defending land and resisting settlements ( nbprs ) stated in its latest weekly report, that the fogy position of the new US Administration on the Palestinian – Israeli conflict has encouraged the Netanyahu Gov’t to go ahead with the settlement policy, as it started very recently to transfer the E1 area into a settlement project, knowing that such act was previously seen by the Administration as provocative and unaccepted act. Moreover, the new US Administration’s concern on the Israeli – Palestinian file is at its lowest level and gives green light to Israel to start robbing the area and turning it into a settlement area. Thus, started to open a bypass road near the Annata, Al-Azzareia, and Abu Diss towns east of the holy city through Al-Zaiem which means full control over the area in favor of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement, which is the largest one in the West Bank, and the building of about 12,000 settlement units. Consequently, isolating the city of Jerusalem from other Palestinian governorates, and completely isolating the northern parts of the West Bank from the southern parts.
