The Israeli municipality of Jerusalem Monday, April 4 approved a plan to build 942 new homes in the area of Jewish settlement of Gilo in East Jerusalem. "The urban planning commission approved the project as planned construction of 942 homes in the neighborhood of Gilo," said one alderman, Elisha Peleg, Likud (right, in power).
Mr. Peleg said that green light "is only the first of six administrative steps" needed before the start of construction. The process of Israeli-Palestinian peace, stalled, stumbles on the continuation of Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem and West Bank. Direct peace talks between the two sides briefly resumed in early September 2010 before interrupted almost immediately following the expiration of a ten-month moratorium on Israeli settlement in the West Bank.
Palestinian leaders call for a complete cessation of construction in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem before resuming negotiations, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu refuses.
