JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — The Israeli planning authority on Monday rejected plans for an Israeli tourism center in the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem.
A settler organization has been planning the “Kedem” tourism center at the entrance to Wadi Hilweh in Silwan since 2003. It would have served as an archaeological visitors’ center for the nearby City of David National Park.
On Monday, however, Israel’s national planning committee accepted appeals lodged by Wadi Hilweh’s residents, the Israeli non-governmental organisations Ir Amim and Emek Shaveh, and a group of Israeli academics.
