Israel Plans 900 Settlements Despite U.S. Request

Reported by cbs4.com on Wednesday, 18 November 2009 (on November 18, 2009)

The White House rebuked Israel with heavy criticism Tuesday after the
Jerusalem city government moved toward the construction of 900
additional housing units in a Jewish neighborhood in East Jerusalem,
which Palestinians claim for the capital of their future state. President Obama has made restarting peace talks between Israel and the
Palestinians a top foreign policy goal. To that end, he has demanded
that Israel cease building new or expanding existing Jewish settlements
in the West Bank.
