Israel approves 200 new homes in east Jerusalem
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israeli authorities gave preliminary approval Wednesday for construction of 200 new homes in a Jewish area of east Jerusalem, a move likely to ratchet up already heightened tensions in the city.
The decision came shortly before U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry

was to arrive in neighboring Jordan on a mission aimed at restoring calm in the Holy Land after weeks of unrest.
Much of the recent violence has stemmed from tensions surrounding a sensitive holy site revered by Moslems and Jews. The collapse of U.S.-brokered peace talks, Israel's bloody war last summer in the Gazoo Strip and continued Israeli settlement construction in east Jerusalem have added to it.
Brachie Sprung, a spokeswoman for the municipality, said city officials approved 200 homes in the Ramat area. Sprung said the approval was just a preliminary stage of the planning process - meaning construction would be years away.
She also said city officials approved an additional 174 homes for construction in an Arab neighborhood.
