OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli municipal council in occupied Jerusalem is going to hold a meeting today, Sunday, to discuss the proposal of changing the names of several Arab streets into Hebrew ones in accordance with the wishes of Jewish settlers.
The Israeli council said it would Judaize the names of Palestinian neighborhoods, streets and alleys in the districts and areas of Silwan, Wadi Hilwa, Wadi Rababa, Bustan, Thawri, Mesrara, Bab Al-Amoud and Sawwanah.
Wadi Hilwa information center said on Saturday that the noted Arab names of streets in east Jerusalem would be replaced by Hebrew ones having Talmudic denotations.
The center gave the names of many streets that would be changed such as the name of Wadi Hilwa neighborhood that would turn into Ir David and Wadi Hilwa street into Ma'a lot David.
The center noted that the Palestinian natives of Silwan would attend next Sunday the meeting slated to be held by the Israeli municipality to demand it to backtrack on its decision to change the historical names of Palestinian areas in east Jerusalem.
It added that Silwan natives prepared a detailed map containing the original Arab names of all streets and districts in their area in order to confront this Judaization scheme.
It warned that Israel wants to erase everything related to Arabs in Jerusalem, their identity, past and history, and to make it look a Jewish city.
