RNA - In a Monday statement, Tafakji warned of Israeli intents to seize over 87% of Palestinian land in Occupied Jerusalem, Palinfo reported.

The expert added that Israel accelerated the pace of its settlement activity throughout the occupied Palestinian territories after the US President Donald Trump recognized Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state.

Tafakji sounded the alarm over Israeli strategies to boost Judaization and settlement schemes, most notably the so-called 2020 project and 2050 project.
