The Elad Association promoting Palestinian displacement by Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem, has welcomed double funding compared to its original public grant for projects related to tourism in the Hinnom Valley, next to the Old City.


In August, a study by Haaretz unveiled the means by which different authorities related to government and municipality are helping Elad to expand the area, and has found that authorities have distributed the nonprofit 28 million shekels.


Ben-Hinnom Valley is in the east of the Jerusalem cinematheque and dispute exists in the ownership of a portion of the land, with Palestinians claiming control.


The Israel Nature and Parks Authority, in 2020, signed a contract through which Elad got the right to work in the area in the authority’s name. As the contract being termed a “joint venture,” no aggressive bidding for the rights happened ever.


Consequently, the Jerusalem municipality provided landscaping orders, the means by which the city can exercise command over an area deemed to have been ignored in order to get better.


Then the city is authorized to take on landscaping assignment at the site, even if it remains owned privately. By making the use of the municipality’s order, Elad continued to create barrier in the area and started to develop it under the name The Farm in the Valley.


From three different public sources, the 28 million shekels to sponsor the Hinnom Valley project came in.
