Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
JERUSALEM, July 6 (UPI) -- A privately owned fund is offering low rental apartments to Jewish families to encourage them to move to the predominantly Arab part of east Jerusalem.
A report in Maariv Monday said the Israel Lands Fund is searching for Jewish occupants to rent a five bedroom apartment in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina, for $400 a month. The apartment is in a four-story building already inhabited by seven Jewish families, the report said.
Arieh King, director of the fund, a private organization that purchases properties for Jewish settlement, said the organization's aim is to assist Jews in purchasing Arab properties in east Jerusalem, and strengthen the Jewish presence in the area.
"After the properties are purchased, they are registered in the names of the Jewish owners, and we assist in renting them out," he told the paper.
The organization operates in a number of Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem. King said he also hopes to bring a new tenant to a building in Beit Safafa in south-east Jerusalem.
