Abstract

In East Jerusalem,1 since 1967 and the Israeli occupation, there is no Palestinian public authority and no Palestinian elected body—neither at the neighborhood level nor at the city level. The emergent Palestinian state has not been able yet to extend its territorial sovereignty over the Holy City.2 Planning decisions are thus taken by the Israeli municipality and government, which control the whole city’s territory, including West and East Jerusalem (Salenson 2006).
