Israel’s Jerusalem municipality approved building plans on Wednesday for 184 new homes in two Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, drawing anger from Palestinians engaged in faltering statehood talks.
A municipality spokeswoman said the local planning committee had approved requests by private contractors who purchased the land years ago for the construction of 144 homes in Har Homa and 40 dwellings in Pisgat Zeev.
The problem with this is that the Palestinians are trying create a contiguous country that involves the territory in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This is another sign that shows that the peace talks are stagnant.
