Israel will continue building in
east Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said following
White House criticism of construction plans for an additional
1,500 homes on land claimed by Palestinians.
“Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Israel
and we will continue to build there,” Netanyahu said today in
Acco, Israel. "Jerusalem is the
eternal capital of the state of Israel and we will continue to build
there. A united Jerusalem expresses a broad national consensus."
