Jerusalem Mayor Delays Development Plan
(New York Times) Ethan Bronner - The mayor of Jerusalem agreed Tuesday to delay a plan to demolish some Palestinian homes to build a complex that would provide new apartments for the residents. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked Mayor Nir Barkat to allow more time to reach an understanding with the residents of the neighborhood. Barkat has been negotiating with the Palestinians there, who are living in housing that is illegal under Israeli law.
