The Israeli district committee for planning and building in occupied Jerusalem approved a plan to build additional 23 housing units in a new settlement outpost in Ras Al-Amud neighborhood east of the old city of Jerusalem.
Specialist in settlement affairs Ahmed Sob-Laban said this Israeli district committee approved a plan to add 23 housing units to two apartment buildings as well as to build a third building in place of a gas station and shops near settlement outpost Ma'aleh David, in which the building of 17 new housing units was endorsed two weeks ago by the same committee.
The specialist added this new settlement outpost is about 100 meters from outpost Ma'aleh David in Ras Al-Amud area and financed by notorious Zionist businessman Yousuf Sultan, a settler of Givat Ze'ev settlement north of Jerusalem.
This businessman claims he owns the land on which the gas station was built, he noted.
