The so called Israeli Planning and Building Committee said that the Israeli occupation government sought to link north of the occupied Al-Quds with four new tunnels instead of one tunnel.

The committee added that they prepared a scheme that aimed to link the road network in the west of Al-Quds with the east, towards the Ghor settlements.

Khalil Tafakji, head of the maps department, told Al-Quds Radio that the plan aimed to facilitate the settlers’ movement in Al-Quds and to penetrate Palestinian neighborhoods in north of Al-Quds i.e. Issawiya, Shafat, Beit Hanina, Anata and parts of Hazma. It also aimed to link the settlements in east of Al-Quds within a plan to unify and Judaize the remaining lands and exploit them in the expansion of settlements and bypass roads. 

He added that the plan was to change the land classification, increase the settlement construction ratios and increase the space allocated to the construction of the main tunnel which would become four tunnels with different directions. They also aimed to serve many settlements including Ma'ale Adumim, Pisgat Ze'ev,  Neve Yaakov, Geva Binyamin and other settlements in east of Al-Quds and Ramallah and to pave the road network of the large settlement in E1.

  Tafakji pointed that the occupation in less than a month raised the construction rate and announced a series of projects.
