OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Hebrew news reports have revealed that the Israeli government continues to take measures aimed at reinforcing its sovereignty over Occupied Jerusalem. These steps have effectively erased the boundaries of the Green Line, which is an artificial line that separates the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948, where the Jewish state was established, from those occupied in 1967.
According to the news site Ynet, affiliated with the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, a new settlement plan is being advanced in the illegal Adam settlement (also known as Geva Binyamin), located north of Jerusalem and south of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
While this plan is officially presented as an expansion of the Adam settlement itself, in fact, it would extend Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries beyond their pre-1967 limits. This expansion would mark the first time since the Six-Day War that Jerusalem’s territory is formally enlarged past those borders.
In essence, the settlement plan is not merely about enlarging Adam but about reshaping the geography of Jerusalem itself. By pushing its boundaries outward, the Israeli government is working on entrenching its control more deeply within the occupied Palestinian territories.
Ynet noted that the plan includes the construction of hundreds of settlement units for the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community on a tract of land located at a distance from the Adam settlement, adding that the construction in the designated area would create geographic continuity within Jerusalem and effectively expand the Neve Yaakov settlement.
