Israel to build 942 more homes in east Jerusalem
JERUSALEM - Israel has advanced a project for 942 more settler homes in east Jerusalem closer to construction as part of a new fast-track plan to tighten its grip on the territory.
The Interior Ministry says a government planning committee moved the project to the advanced stage of asking contractors to submit bids to build them. Once a bid is awarded, construction can begin.
The homes are among some 5,000 new settler homes that Israel moved closer to construction in the past week.
