For the first time ever since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to power, Israel government officially permitted the construction of more than 450 new homes in the West Bank. New government approved the construction regardless of US pressurized to first settlement building.

This move had shocked American government, which clearly mentioned that freeze on building is vital to start peace talk. Palestinians has freeze the recommencement of peace talk with Israel until there is a complete halt in settlement construction. Mr. Saeb Erekat stated the construction nullifies any effect after future building freeze when and if announced, he mentioned Israel’s decision destabilized its trustworthiness as a partner for peace. He further added they opted of making settlement rather than making peace. Defense Minister Ehud Barak has sanctioned the construction of 455 housing units in settlement blocs whereas its prior statement had approved 366 housing units. Israeli officials proclaimed Mr. Netanyahu gave permission to proceed for the new housing units. This issue is likely to be talk with George Mitchell. Americans by now have articulated their annoyance. They utter they are trying to build reliability across Middle East in a new Israeli Palestinian peace process. Question rose will US representative will accept or end the Israeli version of a settlement freeze. Near about 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built in West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem. At present 2,500 housing units are under construction, they are illegitimate under international law.
