Zionist regime okays new road projects for settlers in Jerusalem

According to Hebrew media outlets, the zionist regime’s higher civil administration’s road subcommittee okayed the construction of Road 45 that will bypass the Qalandia refugee camp. Thousands of dunums will be seized for this road project.

This road will connect the Mekhmas checkpoint or junction on Road 60 and the illegal settlements of Migron and Kochav Ya’akov directly with Road 443 in the southwest of Ramallah and near the villages of northwest of Jerusalem.

In addition, the committee also sanctioned the building of a road connecting Road 1 in western Jerusalem with Road 60 and the southern neighborhoods of the holy city.

Thousands of dunums of agricultural land will be appropriated for this road, which will go around Sur Baher town in east Jerusalem.

The zionist regime’s finance minister Bezliel Smotrich said that these new road projects are intended to facilitate the movement of Jewish settlers. (ILKHA)
