The Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem has started to Judaize and change the Arabic names of historic streets in the Old City into Hebrew names.

Jerusalem affairs specialist Fakhri Abu Diyab said that a municipal crew recently removed the wall sign of "al-Wad Street" in the Old City and replaced it with a new plate carrying the Hebrew name "Hagevura."

According to Abu Diyab, al-Wad Street starts from Bab al-Amud area in the north of the Old City and runs southwards to al-Wad neighborhood near the Aqsa Mosque's western wall.

He described such targeting of al-Wad Street as "part of Israel's efforts to Israelize and Judaize the holy city, distort its general scene and falsify its Islamic and Arab identity, history and culture."

He pointed out that the Israeli municipality had also Judaized the name of the Umayyad Palaces area near the Aqsa Mosque's southern wall as well as alleys and streets in the east Jerusalem district of Silwan, south of the Old City.

The specialist accused the Israeli occupation state of seeking to remove and obliterate the Arab roots of Jerusalem, impose the Hebrew culture and identity in the holy city and brainwash foreign visitors.
