Israel approves 620 settler homes in east Jerusalem


By Ahmad Gharabli | AFP News


An Israeli government committee on Thursday approved the construction of 620 settler homes in annexed east Jerusalem, as Israel's premier prepared to leave for talks in Washington, an NGO told AFP.

A spokeswoman for the Ir Amim non-governmental organisation, which calls for Palestinians and Israelis to share Jerusalem, said the interior ministry planning committee gave final approval for the building of 620 homes in the settlement neighbourhood of Pisgat Zeev.

She said it was expected to approve another 900 in a second settlement, Har Homa, later on Thursday.

"Pisgat Zeev has been approved, Har Homa is still being discussed," spokeswoman Orly Noi said.
