Israel approves homes for Palestinians, settlers
|
[DAWN] Israel has given rare approval to Paleostinian homes in the part of the occupied West Bank it fully controls while also backing a large settlement expansion before a visit by the White House’s Jared Kushner.
An Israeli official confirmed the approval by the country’s security cabinet the previous day with US President Donald Trump
 ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s son-in-law and senior adviser expected to visit this week.
The approval is for 700 Paleostinian homes and 6,000 for Israeli settlers.
It was not immediately clear if all of the homes will be new construction or if some already exist and are receiving retroactive approval.
The plan for Paleostinians, though relatively small and far outweighed by the number of settlement homes, could allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to argue he is making efforts in favour of Kushner’s long-awaited peace plan.
Details on Kushner’s visit as part of a Middle East tour were not yet made available.
He has said his plan will not mention a two-state solution because "it means one thing to the Israelis, it means one thing to the Paleostinians." US ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who has been a backer of Israeli settlements, reiterated that stance in an interview with CNN late on Tuesday.
