Fifth foreign firm quits Israeli cable car project in Jerusalem
Original: Fifth foreign firm pulls out of controversial Israeli cable car project to East Jerusalem By Lorenzo Tondo and Quique Ki
A fifth foreign company has withdrawn from an Israeli plan to build a 1.4km cable car line to East Jerusalem, according to a Guardian report by Lorenzo Tondo and Quique Kierszenbaum. Rights groups say the route, which ends at a compound run by the settler group Elad, would displace Palestinians and entrench settlement in occupied territory. The pullouts are being framed as mounting international pressure on the contested project.
Why now: Each corporate withdrawal adds pressure on a project critics see as settlement expansion in occupied East Jerusalem.
