Creeping Annexation

I was at Menachem Begin's grave this afternoon for the yahrtzeit memorial ceremony with son Benny and family and admirers including Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, aspiring future President MK Ruby Rivlin, Professor Aryeh Naor and fellow employees of the Menachem Begin Heritage Center.

Prior to the ceremony, looking out at the Temple Mount,

I spotted something I had not seen previously:

a new cemetery section, on the opposite, to the west, slope of the Mount of Olives.
