Occupation Authorities OK 942 New Settlement Units in Occupied Al-Quds

International

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS-The Israeli occupation municipality has approved 942 new settlement units for occupied Al-Quds, Israeli sources said Tuesday, on the eve of the scheduled resumption of so-called peace talks with the Palestinians, according to al-Manar website.

The units are in addition to the more than 1,000 settlement homes approved by the Zionist entity on Sunday, in a move that has angered the Palestinians and drawn fire from the international community.

“The Jerusalem municipality has approved a construction plan for 942 homes in Gilo,” an existing settlement in occupied al-Quds, a municipality source told AFP. “This is a terrible decision which is a provocation against the Palestinians, the Americans and the whole world who oppose continued settlement building,” the leftwing municipal councilor said.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, who convinced the two sides to return to the negotiating table after a three-year hiatus, urged the Palestinians “not to react adversely” to Israel’s approval on Sunday for new homes in occupied al-Quds and the West Bank.

The last round of direct talks broke down when the occupying entity refused to halt its settlement construction on occupied Palestinian territory.

Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now said the Jerusalem municipality was also mulling the construction of another 300 homes at a later stage. “The government is doing all it can to sabotage peace talks even before they’ve started,” Peace Now’s spokesman told AFP.
