Ikhlas alKhatib

Ikhlas focused on the problem of lack of pedestrian and mobility infrastructures, and the issue of scale of constructions. Referring to areas in Bethlehem and Ramallah, things she liked and the opposite, she pictured public walkways, staircases, cycling routes, public transportation, abundant lights in streets, a library, basic services, and supply shops. She wishes that residential areas mainly consist of detached houses and buildings that do not exceed four floors in elevation. She wishes Sakiya to remain as a natural reserve, and found it important to fence it so that to protect the territory. She wishes to restore and rehabilitate historic buildings in the village, and that these spaces remain accessible to all. She eyes an old building close to the Israeli military watch tower to renovate as her residence, and desires next to it a multi-story building housing her entire family. She said of Ein Qiniya: “It is true our area is very beautiful, but it suffers from vandalism, that is why its beauty is not visible. There are the areas near the stream down in the valley, they are gorgeous, let something public get set up there, trees and benches, everything organized, it would be much more enchanting than now!”
