Israel Approves 50 New Settler Homes in West Bank

JERUSALEM - Israel has said it has approved the construction of 50 homes in a settlement in the occupied West Bank, despite weeks of pressure from its closest ally Washington.

"The defence ministry has approved the construction of 50 housing units in the settlement of Adam," a statement said.

The decision to build the houses in Adam, north of Jerusalem, came despite repeated US calls for Israel to halt all settlement activity in order to relaunch peace talks with the Palestinians.
