<p>OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; Israel&#8217;s  Jerusalem municipality and nature authority have devised a plan to turn  land in the city&#8217;s Issawiyya and Tur districts into a national park, a  Palestinian lecturer and researcher disclosed.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The move came after claims that the area contains Jewish ”valueables” that belong to the second alleged temple.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”It is expected that the district planning  and building committee in the Israeli Ministry of Interior will decide  next Tuesday to accept the plan initially and take it to the public for  objections,” said planning and building lecturer and Jerusalem affairs  expert Qais Nasser.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Nasser outlined the details of plan based  on documents he obtained. He said the project would cover 661,000 sq  meters of land in historic Issawiyya and Tur, known as Karm al-Rumi, Ras  al-Salm, Zaafarana, Maraj, Rabie, Dya and Khulla al-Jawz. The western  end would be adjacent to the Hebrew University, and the eastern end  would run along Highway 1, which leads to the Ma&#8217;ale Adumim settlement.  It would also reach the Tur district to the south and Issawiyya and the  Hebrew University to the north.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”The Israeli Jerusalem municipality  presented the project to transform the region into an Israeli national  park claiming that it is maintaining the historic Jewish values in the  region belonging to the Second Temple,” Nasser said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to the project&#8217;s documents, the  Israeli nature authority will sign an agreement to operate the park with  the Hebrew University.</p>
