<p style="font-size:10pt;">OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; The  Israeli government is “planning to completely destroy the city of  Jerusalem and a erect a new Jerusalem with a Zionist vision amid a plan  it prepared which it calls the Jerusalem 2020 plan,” Jerusalem attorney  Ahmed Al-Ruwaidi said in a statement he released Wednesday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Jerusalem unit head said the  wide-ranging plan envisions new settlements in the city and a complete  transformation of Jerusalem’s Old City.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Old City walls will dwindle down to a  trace on the full parameters of biblical parks, bridges, and synagogues  in an area covering the Silwan, Sheikh Jarah, Wadi Al-Jawz, and  Al-Sawanah districts of the city, he added.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The plan alleges that Jerusalem is “the  capital and spiritual center of Israel and the Jewish people and a world  city which attracts the souls of millions of believers across the  globe.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Ruwaidi went on to say: “All of the  settlement projects in Jerusalem during the past three years, some of  which have been practically implemented, fall under the [plan’s]  framework, including a decision to erect a thousand new settlement units  in Jebel Abu Ghunaim aimed at completing the isolation of the city with  a wall of settlements.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">“Israel announced previously it will build  50,000 new units in the city. The implementation of 20,000 of those  units has been initiated practically under projects that have been  approved from time to time for political objectives linked to political  and international action.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">20,000 Palestinian housing units have been threatened with demolition.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Under the plan, Arab Jerusalem will make  up 71,000 dunums of the eastern and western sides of the city’s total  126,000 dunum land area.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Ruwaidi added that planning projects for  new settlement units, conferences held in Jerusalem, excavation projects  in the holy city’s area, and revocation of Palestinian residencies that  have recently appeared in the media are part of a decided Israeli  program that the Israeli government and other parties have been working  to materialize.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Ruwaidi met Wednesday with a legal team  from the UK accompanied by political and cultural extensions from the  British Consulate in Jerusalem. The delegation is currently developing a  report about the situation in the city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Palestinian attorney presented a  comprehensive report to the UK delegation relating to the city and the  distress of its citizens, and the need to put the Fourth Geneva  Convention of 1949 and The Hague Convention of 1907 into action and to  recognize Israel as an occupying force in Jerusalem that has no right to  change the city’s landmarks.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He called for legal, political, and economic support for Palestinians in the holy city.</p>
