WASHINGTON, D.C. (Press Release)– As the Obama administration prepares to kick its efforts to broker Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations into higher gear, the government of Israel is advancing plans to build 2,372 new housing units in West Bank settlements.
News of this new round of settlement construction plans was publicized Thursday, March 20, by Americans for Peace Now’s Israeli sister-organization, Shalom Achshav (Peace Now).
Americans for Peace Now joins Shalom Achshav in condemning the new plans for construction in settlements, many of which are east of the “Separation Barrier,” in areas that are almost certain to come under Palestinian sovereignty when a two-state peace agreement is achieved.
