Israel announces new east Jerusalem housing plans

Israel announces new east Jerusalem housing plans

08 November 2010 20:38 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. Israel says it is moving ahead with plans to build 1,300 new apartments in disputed east Jerusalem, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.
The Interior Ministry’s announcement and its timing could embarrass Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting the U.S. Washington is already frustrated over his refusal to curb settlement construction.
Palestinians condemned the plans. They claim east Jerusalem for a future capital.
The government plans to expand the Har Homa neighborhood by 978 apartments and to build 320 new apartments in the Ramot neighborhood.
Monday’s announcement comes a day after Netanyahu met with Vice President Joe Biden. Israel infuriated Biden early this year by announcing construction plans in east Jerusalem while the vice president was visiting.
