The EU intervenes in what is happening in Jerusalem:
The EU representative "in the Palestinian territories" posted on its Facebook page an initiative entitled "EU-funded innovation project and support for housing in al-Quds - preserving Palestinian identity in eastern al-Quds."
The EU Commission's Facebook page "In the Palestinian Territories" published a project aimed at preserving Palestinian identity in East Jerusalem, which read: "If you have a residence that needs infrastructure work, if you have finished construction and you are missing - contact us to help.
"The project is for people with limited income, according to the following conditions and restrictions: to be a Palestinian citizen living with his family permanently in Jerusalem, to have a valid building permit and finish the skeleton construction or to be in the final stages of building. Own the land on which the building is built, or "The building, or the land, is owned by a cooperative society that is officially registered in Jerusalem. If the applicant / applicant is a member of a group of people, they must prove that there is a person or committee authorized by the group who has the legal ability to follow the proceedings."

"Shamelessly"
This is a project worth 3 million euros, carried out in collaboration with the "Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs and the Ministry of Housing and Construction" of the Palestinian Authority, which includes the development of infrastructure and the construction of new housing units for the less able.
Matan Peleg, chairman of the If You Will movement, and Maor Tzemach, chairman of the Lech Jerusalem organization, responded: "In recent years, the European Union has increased its involvement in what is happening in the Israeli capital. This involvement is reflected in funding radical organizations Between Jews and Arabs. "
He added: "We are now seeing a serious and inconceivable escalation, and so far the political echelon has done nothing. We saw European funding of Palestinian heritage organizations in Jerusalem a few months ago, and now the EU is at the forefront of the fight against Jerusalem in al-Quds Palestinian preservation project. 'Shameless and without any attempt to hide. The Foreign Minister and the entire political echelon, together with the Knesset members, must demand and stop the rude European colonialism immediately. No completion, no silence, only immediate action. What is happening in Area C has become almost a fait accompli, "With tens of thousands of illegal structures funded by the union. If we do not wake up, we will also lose Jerusalem."
