Israel announces future tenders for 1,730 housing units | ||
2013-11-04 | ||
The Israeli Housing Ministry announced Sunday that it will soon publish tenders for 1,730 housing units situated beyond the green line, lands annexed during the 1967 Mideast War, Xinhua reported.
The apartments in the West Bank will be built in Karnei Shomron, Maaleh Adumim, Giva'at Ze'ev and Betar Illit near Jerusalem, among others. "To bring about real change in the (high) home prices, we intend to move ahead on plans to further boost housing starts and effective marketing of land nationwide in 2014," Israeli Housing Minister Uri Ariel said in the statement. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Internal Affairs Minister Gideon Sa'ar agreed to advance construction of 1,500 housing units in northeast Jerusalem. Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians resumed in late July, after a three-year halt in negotiations as a result of Israel's expansion of its settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The talks are held under secrecy, yet there are reports of difficulties in making progress for various reasons, one of them being Israel's announcement of its intention to build more than 1, 700 new housing units in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

#1 Settlements WORK. Listen to the Palis squeal! Keep it up. Peace is a house built on it and full of Jewish families who all own it. And the Palis can move to Brazil and argue with the monkeys on the upper Orinoco. |
