ACAP’s Position on the Expansion of Harish’s Planning Area

The establishment of the city of Harish , which is intended to house 150,000 Orthodox Jews and to dominate large areas of Arab towns in Wadi A’arra, is one of the governmental projects that ACAP, alongside the Public Committee for Defending the Housing and the Land, are opposed to.  ACAP exposed the project and turned to official parties along by presenting the project to the public and monitoring the updates. Here we will present key points from the position paper ACAP wrote along with the public committee in Wadi A’arra.  This position paper was presented to the national council for planning and building in its meeting on 8.9.2009 regarding this matter, and decision was to postpone the decision regarding the expansion of the planning area of Harish.
