<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Gaza&#8217;s religious affairs  ministry expressed concern over a project to build 58,000 Jewish  settler homes in occupied Jerusalem by 2020.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Meanwhile, Israel is announcing Jerusalem  as the capital for Jewish people and allocating funds to attract Jews in  a project dubbed Jerusalem 2020, the ministry said in a statement  Monday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The construction is aimed at pushing out Jerusalem&#8217;s Arab population and making it a holy city for the Jews, the ministry added.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Settlement funds purchased two weeks  earlier the Shepherd hotel under an illegal absentee property law and  planned to build in its place a Jewish settlement. The property was  owned by late Palestinian Mufti Amin al-Husseini.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The city&#8217;s planning board discussed last  week passing a plan to build the largest beyond the Green Line project  to date, that will include construction of 1,400 new residential units.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The same committee had also suggested a project annexing 85 dunums of land from the northeastern Beit Hanina community.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The plan is to build a road bridging the  Pesgat Zeev and Navi Yakoub settlements to ease movement from and to the  western part of the city.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Religious affairs minister Talib Abu  Sha&#8217;ar said it is one of the most important larger settlement projects  to ease movement between Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and northeastern Jerusalem  at the expense of Palestinian land and thoroughfares which have decayed  after years of Judaization policies.</p>
