The Mazmuria commercial terminal: when, who and why?

The first time Israel announced about the construction of Mazmuria commercial terminal was in October 2003 when the Israeli Army handed out residents of An Nu'man community a map outlining the Israeli plans in the area. The map showed a sketch of a commercial terminal to be set in the area along with a military camp. Both, the terminal and the camp, as shown in the map, were to be constructed inside the area that will be segregated by the Wall. In addition, the map showed that the terminal would be connected with the northern and southern peripherals of the area through a Israeli bypass road that will cross through the lands of An Nu'man and Al Khas communities to connect with Bethlehem eastern part across an elevated bridge at the crossing point.
