The Encroaching Threat: Wadi Al-Jouz Neighborhood Under Siege
The Wadi Al-Jouz neighborhood, strategically located near the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, faces an unprecedented threat as it becomes increasingly encircled by Israeli settlement projects. Spanning 500 dunums, this area is not only a residential hub for thousands of Palestinians but also a focal point for ongoing tensions and conflicts surrounding land ownership and urban expansion. As the Israeli government pushes forward with plans to expand a so-called 'National Park,' the local community finds itself at risk of displacement and further segregation.
