Israel to Resume Construction in Jerusalem, Settlement Blocs

(Times of Israel) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the security cabinet on Sunday he will soon announce expanded construction in the settlement blocs and ease all building restrictions in east Jerusalem, Israel's Channel 2 reported. He told ministers that his "vision" is that all of the settlements in the West Bank will ultimately come under Israeli sovereignty in any accommodation. The cabinet discussed the proposed extension of Israeli sovereignty to Ma'ale Adumim, a city of 40,000 next to Jerusalem. According to the Walla news website, Netanyahu told the ministers: "I support Israeli sovereignty over Ma'ale Adumim. There is no question about Ma'ale Adumim, and in any future accord it will be under Israeli sovereignty. But right now, at the request of the U.S. administration, we were asked not to surprise them but to formulate a joint policy."
