Israel Announces More Settlement Building as Netanyahu Meets Obama
Israel has authorized plans to build 1,550 housing units on land that was annexed around Jerusalem after the 1967 war. The government gave the authorization on the day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for talks in Washington. The meeting between the two leaders is likely to be tense after President Barack Obama stated yesterday that any future Palestinian state should be based on 1967 lines.
