A new report by the Palestinian Al-Haq Foundation examines the extent of Israel’s discriminatory measures against Palestinians, exemplified in the case of the Atarot industrial settlement in occupied East Jerusalem, built on Palestinian land of Beit Hanina, Al-Ram and Dahiyat al Bareed, and its adverse impacts on the lives of Palestinians residing and on the Palestinians in general. Al-Haq conducted interviews with Palestinian families; women and men residing in what is now known as the Atarot industrial settlement highlight the devastating consequences of the industrial settlement on individuals, communities, and the environment. In addition, the interviews shed light on Israel’s discriminatory planning and zoning regime which systematically denies Palestinian communities building permits and creates an uninhabitable environment that does not meet the minimum standards for the right to adequate housing.
