Israel okays 900 East Jerusalem homes – NGO
Israel has approved construction of 900 homes in East Jerusalem, a watchdog group says.
The new homes will be built in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo following a decision late Wednesday by the city’s district planning committee, Peace Now spokeswoman Hagit Ofran tells AFP.
“They’ve approved the request, and now they’re allowed to build,” she says.
