An "Israeli" planning committee moved forwards on Wednesday with plans to build a nine-story "Israeli" seminary in the heart of a densely-populated Palestinian neighborhood of east al-Quds.

’Israel’ Plans to Build High Rise in East Al-QudsPlans for the new tower block, to be built in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of east al-Quds, were deposited for consultation, giving the public 60 days to submit any objections.

"It's a plan for a nine-story, ultra-Orthodox yeshiva in Sheikh Jarrah which was deposited today for objections," spokesman Lior Amihai said.

He further said: "The plan was supposed to be discussed and approved a few weeks ago, however it was postponed, most probably due to political reasons."

"It's not a game changer but it's on a piece of land in Sheikh Jarrah which has already suffered a lot. It's a very sensitive area and I think the prime minister knows it."
Sheikh Jarrah is a Palestinian residential neighborhood located to the north of the Old City.

The area, which is home to around 2,700 Palestinians, includes well-known landmarks, such as Orient House, the American Colony Hotel and the Palestinian National Theater, as well as many consular missions.
Located on the road which links the Old City to Mount Scopus, the area is considered a strategic location.
