IOA to build 60 new housing units in OJ[ 04/07/2010 - 10:09 AM ]
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli organization and construction committee is to endorse the construction of 60 new housing units in Eastern Jerusalem that would coincide with Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington.
Hebrew daily Ha'aretz said on Sunday that the new housing units would be built in Pisgat Ze'ev to the north east of occupied Jerusalem.
In another report, this time by the Israeli radio, the Israeli parliament was discussing a new draft proposal that would prevent Netanyahu from renewing the settlement freeze decision.
The radio said that Likud and national union party members of the parliament proposed the law that stipulates referring any such decision to the parliament for endorsement.
The broadcast said that the law primarily targeted blocking the Israeli government form extending the ban on settlement building that would end by next September, which was not fully pursued anyway and which excluded occupied Jerusalem.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot reported on Sunday that Zionist settlers have threatened to evict the occupants of a Palestinian building in East Jerusalem, and to force more than 40 Jerusalemite citizens out of it, that if happened would have coincided with the American Independence Day.
The newspaper highlighted that members of the Israeli Knesset asked the Zionist extremists to postpone the eviction until the end of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States, so as not to cause embarrassment to Israel during talks between the two sides.
The newspaper added that the extremist right-wingers agreed to postpone the eviction process a few days until the end of Netanyahu's visit, stressing that they would soon vacate the building and force out its residents.
