Jerusalem's new hotspot

Jerusalem's mayor Nir Barkat has publicly announced the destruction of more Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem. This latest plan would demolish 22 homes in the al-Bustan neighborhood in order to make room for luxury hotels and gardens for tourists. Barkat has postponed submitting the plan to the planning committee after receiving a call from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who suggested placing the project on hold. This plan is one of many in which Israel has destroyed Palestinian houses and schools in order to build Jewish settlements on land which is internationally recognized as Palestinian.
