The recent decision by the Zionist regime of Israel to build 9,000 settlement units in the Atarot area will erase the remnants of the Jerusalem al Quds International Airport built in 1924.

Iran PressMiddle East: Head of Maps at the Arab Studies Society Khalil Tafakji said that Israel is planning to establish an entirely new settlement, mostly located on the land of the Jerusalem al Quds International Airport.

The airport is known to Palestinians as Qalandia Airport and to Israelis as Atarot Airport.

The UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco have signed agreements on the normalization of relations with Israel in deals brokered by US President Donald Trump's administration.

At the time that the Israeli regime has occupied many Arab-Islamic areas in addition to repressing the Palestinians, the Arab regimes are making their efforts to normalize relations with the Israeli regime. 

According to Tafakji, the airport received flights until the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Eastern Jerusalem al Quds, and the Gaza Strip in 1967, The New Khalij reported.

Later on, Israel used it for internal flights and completely closed it in 2000.

On Sunday, Israel's public broadcaster Kan reported that the Israeli District Planning and Building Committee had approved building 9,000 new settlement units in the Atarot area.

It pointed out that this plan was intentionally expedited before the US President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.
