JERUSALEM - The permission to build 500 new housing units in the West Bank is a first reaction to the Israeli government's brutal killing of five family members Fogel, in the settlement of Itamar in the West Bank, during the night between Friday and Saturday. The approval of new construction projects came last night after an extraordinary meeting of the special inter-ministerial committee for settlement policy.
At the session attended by, among others, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak. The approved projects - in Maaleh Adumim, Ariel, Gush Etzion and Kiryat Sefer - are all in similar areas of settlement that should remain within the territory of Israel in any future agreement with the Palestinians, not just from the Likud but also according to Labor and the centrist Kadima.
In a first comment the settler movement has expressed a quiet satisfaction. A spokesman for the settlers, however, that would be necessary to build thousands of apartments to meet the immediate needs. Meanwhile the hunt for perpetrators of Itamar: at first the authorities had spoken of a single killer, but now it seems they are sought two Palestinians.
The Al Aqsa Brigades claimed responsibility for the action, particularly gruesome: were stabbed to death in their beds a couple of settlers and their 11 children, 3 years and 3 months. In the West Bank the Israeli army is now deployed in force to prevent possible retaliation by settlers against the Palestinian population.
