A settlement watchdog in Israel announced that the country is moving forward with plans to build more than 1,000 housing units in a settlement in east Jerusalem.
On Sunday, Peace Now released a statement on the Ministry of Housing and the Israel Land Authority’s decision to open the bidding process for the construction of 1,257 housing units in Givat Hamatos. Construction in the settlement could threaten to cut off parts of the city claimed by Palestinians in the West Bank, according to the Associated Press.
