Zionist regime wants to expand city to restrict Arab population

The request, proposed by the Zionist regime’s Interior Ministry, to expand its boundaries comes following a report released by the Housing Ministry, which detailed the expected demographic changes in the area to 2050. The figures predict that the Arab population in the area will reach 51 per cent of the total 700,000 expected residents.

“The picture of the demographic growth in the surrounding space shows the area is marked by a growing, significant rate of Arab population,” the Zionist regime’s Housing Ministry’s document stated.

 “The demographic balance is about to change: A predominantly non-Jewish population will inhabit the district.”

The town had already been expanded twice despite warnings from Adalah, the Palestinian human rights organisation based in Haifa, that the move would impact negatively upon the area’s surrounding Arab towns and villages and their physical development.

Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that transforming Harish into a city is a “great Zionist message, also directed at Israel’s enemies.”
