The first section of the network is on track to open in two years' time.
By 2020, the railway is due to link various illegal Israeli settlements to the western part of East Jerusalem.
Like almost every project in this city, the light rail divides opinions.

  • False Al-Jazeera propoganda! And they call themselves "fair" journalists.

    The system is meant to serve both Jews and Arabs. The Jerusalem municipality is doing what it needs to do to relieve conjestion in the city - by building a modern light rail system.

    To rebut the Israeli rep., instead of checking the facts, AJ put on some woman with no credentials who claims that there will be no stations serving Shoafat... Lies! There will not one station in Shoafat, but three of them!

  • Usual Arab propaganda.

    We- our ancestors- conquered Jerusalem 3,000 years ago READ THE BIBLE- so we are here. WE DO NOT NEED TO SAY SORRY THAT WE CONQUERED THE EASTERN PART in 1967- IT IS OURS- thank G-d Israel can protect itself- It's a shame that so many westerners & English follow this sick Arab hate propaganda. I'm pleased only with one thing- they can talk- at least we can act to ensure our home.

  • JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL

    OF JEWISH PEOPLE FOREVER !!!!!!

  • I FULLY SUPPORT THE JERUSALEM LIGHT RAIL PROJECT, NOW AND FOREVER.

    Arabs have no rights, privilege or entitlement to complain about anything? Your land? According to what or who?

    You start a war, and you lose a war(1948 and 1967). By all reasonable standards, you lose all rights to complain. See ya lata!!!

    And onwards the Jerusalem trolley goes....

  • if there is not one stop in Palestinian area for light rail then build one! Its not so hard Israel! Or is there another motive?

  • if they want or dont!

    JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL!

    and will never be divided to 2 sides!

    take ramalah as ur capital or bethlehem !

    IDIOT PALESTINENS! fuck off!

  • I think It is very good idea to built tram system to the city. They are space effective, environmentally friendly. They will encourage people to use public transport. I create cities much more human and nice. I also hope trams can help Israeli and Palestinian people to be friends together.

  • Saying that "Israel unlawfully annexed East Jerusalem 40 years ago" is the same of saying "Egypt unlawfully sought independence from England 60 years ago" and so on.

    Palestinians should move out to Jordan!

  • There are more than 3 stops in shoafat. It is a lie !!!

  • If it runs through Arab neighborhoods, why are there no stops there? Doesn't really sound fair to me. And I'm a Jew.

  • free israel from muhamadan occupation now.

    Spain regained its homeland from the muhamadan looters

  • It's sad to see the great architect and engineer Calatrava involved in these crimes. Calatrava knows who Albert Speer was.
