The Amana settler movement has submitted proposals for 122 new housing units in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, according to Middle East Eye. The planned settlement would be built on the former site of the Shepherd Hotel.
Sheikh Jarrah has been a flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian tensions, with Palestinian families facing displacement amid disputes over property ownership and Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood.
