<div id="divLead">Israel  is planning to evict several Palestinian people from the Sheikh Jarrah  neighborhood of East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and construct two new Jewish  settlements in the area.</div>
<p>The Jerusalem Municipal Committee for Planning and Building approved  a plan on Monday to build two buildings in the neighborhood that  include 13 apartments.</p>
<p>According to the plan, two buildings would be razed and several Palestinian families living there evicted from their homes.</p>
<p>The project is organized by US-registered companies, which have been  probably set up by right-wing Israeli activists for transferring funds  for the purchase of real estate in the occupied land, <em>Ha&#8217;aretz</em> reported.</p>
<p>Alongside other Palestinian and Arab territories, Tel Aviv occupied East al-Quds during the Six-Day War in 1967.</p>
<p>The occupation and later annexation of the city &#8212; which the  Palestinians have long been demanding as the capital of their future  state &#8212; have never been recognized by the international community.</p>
<p>Israel refused to prolong a 10-month ban on settlement construction  in late September 2010, stalling US-sponsored direct talks with the  Palestinian Authority, which started earlier that month in Washington.</p>
<p>The Palestinians say that the settlement activities are being  carried out to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian  state.</p>
