Israel plans on carrying out new settlement projects in Har Homa and Pisgat Ze'ev, Jewish settlements established in occupied East Jerusalem, Israel's weekly newspaper Kol Ha'ir has revealed.
The project in Har Homa, which was erected in Jabal Abu Ghneim, between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, comprises 97 settlement units, seven structures, and a small trading center, with costs at around US $38.3 million. Some of the structures will be built near a park under construction, and among the structures, some will be one unit and some will be made up of 16 units, the source said.
The houses have gone on the market during the first stages of construction. Some of those homes are expected to be occupied in November 2012, and they are expected to be fully occupied by May 2013.
The source added that the Pisgat Ze'ev project, in northeast Jerusalem, will include 24 new settlement units and will cost around US $14.7 million.
