Occupiers starts building 1,800 new housing units in Quds

PIC reported:

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) started implementing a new settlement plan that includes building 1,800 housing units in four illegal settlements east of occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem'), Iroshalim weekly newspaper revealed Friday.

The paper said that the Israeli municipality allocated nine million shekels for the construction of 1,600 new housing units in clear challenge to the US administration that declared its rejection of the settlement plan nearly six years ago.

US Vice President Joe Biden visited Tel Aviv in 2010 to activate the 'peace' process between Palestinian Authority and Israelis.

During his visit, the Planning and Construction Committee in occupied ciy announced plans to build 1,600 housing units.

Biden had expressed then his country’s rejection of the settlement plan causing a media and diplomatic row over the issue.

The plan was frozen over the past six years to be revived recently as a political reaction to the ongoing anti-occupation intifada, according to the paper.
