Israel approves plan to build additional 1,300 homes in east Jerusalem
None
Israel announced plans Friday to build 1,300 more apartments in east Jerusalem, immediately drawing the ire of Palestinians who accused it of sabotaging already rocky peace efforts.
The announcement by Israel's Interior Ministry brought to more than 3,000 the number of homes Israel has approved for construction on land that Palestinians want for a state since the renewal of the US-supported peace talks late last year. (AP)
