BUILDING IN JERUSALEM – BACKGROUND

February 24, 1997

HAR HOMA

  1. The planned neighborhood to be built in Har Homa is located
    in an unpopulated area near Kibbutz Ramat Rahel, within the municipal
    boundaries of the city of Jerusalem.
  2. Jerusalem is a vibrant, growing city. The purpose of the Har
    Homa project is to alleviate the housing shortage of both the Jewish
    and Arab residents of Jerusalem. As such, it constitutes part of the
    overall municipal plan to construct 20,000 new housing units for the
    Jewish sector and 8,500 for the Arab sector – a ratio comparable to
    that of the Jewish and Arab populations in the city.In this regard, Prime Minister Netanyahu has recently said (Feb.
    20):

        “We will build in Jerusalem, without conditions, without
        restrictions. We will build throughout the city… We are as
        committed to the Arab residents of Jerusalem as we are to providing
        for the Jewish residents. They, too, need housing, and we will build,
      adapting the building plans to the needs of both populations.”
  3. The Har Homa project necessitated the appropriation of 1,400
    dunams from Jewish landowners and 450 dunams from Arab landowners.
    The High Court of Justice upheld the government’s right to
    appropriate this land in order to meet the housing needs of the
    public at large.

ROADS

  1. The Ministerial Committee on Jerusalem Affairs decided
    (February 18, 1997) to advance the construction of several roads, as part
    of the development of the infrastructure of Jerusalem, in order to
    reduce traffic congestion in the city and to improve access routes
    both to and within the city.
  2. The development of such an infrastructure is necessary to
    serve the growing needs of a Jerusalem as a major city, whose current
    population of 500,000 is expected to increase to 800,000 within the
    next few years. The resulting improvement in transport will enhance
    both the quality of life of Jerusalem’s residents and access from the
    periphery to the city center.
  3. The approved roads in the Jerusalem area are:
    1. A new road linking Jerusalem with the coastal plain, which
      will serve as an alternative to the existing, already congested
      road.
    2. An eastern ring road linking the Arab population centers to
      the north (Ramallah and Nablus) and south (Bethlehem and Hebron) of
      Jerusalem. This road will enable those traveling between these
      centers to bypass the crowded Jerusalem city center, as is customary
      in metropolises throughout the world.

    LEGAL ASPECTS

  4. There is no basis to the Palestinian claims that the
    planning construction constitutes a violation of the agreements
    between Israel and the Palestinians. These agreements do not place
    any restrictions on Israeli building in areas under Israeli
    control.
  5. Both the Declaration of Principles (1993) and the Interim
    Agreement (1995) state that the issue of Jerusalem will be discussed
    in the framework of the permanent status negotiations, and that the
    Palestinian side has no authority in Jerusalem during the interim
    period. Under these agreements, the Palestinians have no standing to
    demand that Israel coordinate building in Jerusalem with them.
