Throwing Another East Jerusalem Wrench into the Works: Final Approval of Plan for Mughrabi Gate Ramp
Special to APN by Daniel Seidemann and Lara Friedman
Peace Now's brilliant Hagit Ofran breaks the news today that on 10/31/10 the government of Israel took the final step in approving the extremely controversial plan for the new Mughrabi Gate ramp (Town Planning Scheme 12472). That step consisted of the publication of the plan in Haaretz (Hebrew print edition - a pdf view of the publication posted by Hagit can be seen/downloaded here.)
In the absence of further legal action (the prospects of which are slim to none, as are the chances of a temporary injunction) this step constitutes final approval. This means that a building permit can be issued, and construction can thereafter commence, as early as 15 days from this publication.
