Notice of confiscation for six dunoms in the Al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan
January 1, 2026

The municipality of Jerusalem in Israel issued notices in the Al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan, titled: "Notice of Intention to Conduct Landscaping and Parking Lot Development."

The notice indicates that the land in question covers roughly 6 dunoms. The municipality states that the area is vacant and not in use, making it appropriate for developing a park and parking facilities. Additionally, a map illustrating the plot's location has been included.

Residents argued that the claim the land is vacant and unused is inaccurate, noting that the municipality has been repeatedly blocking construction and demolishing homes in the neighborhood for months.
