Israel OKs hundreds of new WBank settler homes
[Al Arabiya Latest] Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has authorized the construction of nearly 400 new housing units in settlements in the occupied West Bank, his ministry said in a statement on Monday.

Barak has signed authorizations for 366 new units; the first such authorization since Benjamin Netanyahu's right-leaning government took office in March.

In a statement, the Defense Ministry said Barak also planned to issue more permits in the coming days and raise to 450 the total number of new homes to be built.
