Israel approves another 500 housing units in West Bank, U.S. deeply concerned
[IsraelTimes] The US expresses "deep concern" over an announcement that Israel okayed close to 500 new settlement homes and retroactively approved another 179 already existing units."We are deeply concerned by the government of Israel’s announcement today to advance plans for over 500 new settlement units in the West Bank," the official says. The US has long held that settlement construction is detrimental to the chances of reaching a peace deal with the Paleostinians, a charge that Israel rejects. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-09-01 |
