Tenders issued for 1,285 housing units in East Jerusalem
[Times of Israel] Building tenders for 1,285 housing units located beyond the Green Line were issued by the Israel Land Authority on Monday. The majority of the tenders were in Jerusalem neighborhoods formally annexed by Israel.Of the units, 606 are slated for Ramot and 607 for Pisgat Ze'ev, both Jewish neighborhoods inside Jerusalem city limits built on land captured during the 1967 Six Day War. An additional 72 units are slated for the West Bank settlement of Ariel. Peace Now called the tenders Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "true answer" to PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... and linked the issue to the US elections. On Thursday, Abbas told Channel 2 News that he was not seeking territory within pre-1967 Israel and did not personally seek the right to live in Israel, even though he was born in Safed, in remarks that implied a moderated stance on the longstanding Paleostinian demand for a "right of return" to Israel for millions of refugees and descendants of refugees.
