Jerusalem’s preliminary approval on Monday for 130 new apartments in the southern neighborhood of Gilo, once a shooting target for Arabs aiming from the nearby town of Beit Jala during the Intifada, disproves rumors of a “de facto freeze” in the capital.
“As far as we know there is no freeze in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem municipality is continuing to build in all parts of city, both for Jews and for Arabs," according to Jerusalem spokesman Elie Isaacson.
Foreign media continue to refer to Gilo, as well as nearby Har Homa and other neighborhoods, as “east Jerusalem" although most of the Jewish homes in areas demanded by the Palestinian Authority are located in the northern and southern section of the capital.
