Israeli officials have pushed forward a project to build four new apartment blocks in occupied East Jerusalem, a move likely to heighten tensions with Palestinians amid US efforts to restart peace talks.
Meir Margalit, a Municipal councilman, confirmed on Tuesday that a local planning committee had approved the project, saying final approval could be granted in a matter of weeks.
The project is being developed by Irving Moskowitz, an American Jew who has funded Jewish settlers determined to cement Israel's hold on the city.
Annexed by Israel in 1967, East Jerusalem is a major stumbling block in peace negotiations with the Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state.
[B]Partial suspension
[/B]
Israel's settlement building has also stalled the peace process as Palestinians have demanded a complete settlement freeze before negotiations can continue.
"Our main demand before we return to negotiations is a complete halt to settlement," Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, told Al Jazeera.
The Palestinian leader's comments follow talks in Egypt with Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, and Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president who is mediating the talks.
In November, Netanyahu announced a 10-month suspension on settlement building in the West Bank, but excluded East Jerusalem.
Israeli media reported officials in Netanyahu's office as saying the Israeli prime minister was "encouraged" by the three-way meeting in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, but the continued settlement building makes progress on peace talks unlikely.
In his comments to Al Jazeera, Abbas reiterated the Palestinian position that Netanyahu's temporary suspension of settlement building was inadequate.
"The agreement with the US administration and Netanyahu was a partial one; meaning there is halt for a temporary time - a ten-month period of time - and it excludes Jerusalem and excludes around 3,000 residential units in the West Bank and others," he said.
"We have rejected this, and we still reject it.
"We want the Israeli government to completely halt settlement [building] in Jerusalem and in other areas, and, second, to recognise the international reference - or the roadmap plan - and the return to the 1967 border."[/quote]

This?
Oh great, another reason why the middle east is falling apart.
The title at first read "Israel presses ahead on Civilizations"
But then I read the article ,and I was thinking..."Sounds like it... Civilizations it is."
This is good. The Israelis need to continue to hold their ground.

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;19444312]This is good. The Israelis need to continue to hold their ground/take back the ground they've lost.[/QUOTE]How did they 'lose' ground?
Israel is fucking stupid.
They got to stop acting like they don't provoke violence.
This is exactly why a few nations hate Israel to death.

A guy who loses his house due to this, will probably attack Israel in some way.
Then Israel will be like "We didn't do anything to provoke him."

It takes "major balls" to murder someone too. If you admire someone simply for doing something gutsy, even when what they're doing is terrible, I have some bad news for you...
