| [Al Arabiya Latest] Israel has approved construction of 28 new public buildings in the occupied West Bank, the defense ministry said on Friday, highlighting the limits to settlement restrictions announced this week. "These public buildings and schools must be completed in time for the start of the new school year in September," the ministry said. Defense Minister Ehud Barak's approval for the new construction came just two days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced restrictions on building in West Bank settlements in a gesture to U.S. President Barack Obama. |
