Israeli settlers build 600 homes in less than a month

sraeli settlers have started construction of more than 600 homes
since the ten-month building freeze expired less than a month ago,
in a move that further jeopardises the rapidly collapsing peace talks.


The Palestinians put direct peace talks with Israel on hold following the resumption of settlement construction on September 26

It means the building rate is now four times the pace of construction before the introduction of the building ban on occupied West Bank land, according to the figures released by the Israeli campaign group Peace Now.

Ghassan Khatib, a spokesman for Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President, said the latest figures were alarming. "This is another indicator that Israel is not serious about the peace process, which is supposed to be about ending the occupation," he said.

Naftali Bennett, the director-general of the Yesha Settlers' Council, confirmed widespread building, but refused to disclose the exact figures.

"We are not counting how many homes Jews are building in their land in the same way as no one counts how many homes the Palestinians are building," he said. "The land of Israel is ours, and that's the reality."

Mr Bennett denied that the frantic pace of construction was due to speculation that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, was planning a new building freeze as part of a package deal being negotiated with the Americans.

However, settler officials confirmed that about two-thirds of the current building could come to a halt if the government orders a new construction moratorium.

The Palestinians put direct peace talks with Israel on hold following the resumption of settlement construction on September 26, only weeks after the negotiations got under way.

Nabil Shaath, a senior Palestinian negotiator, said talks would only resume when Israel agreed an end to settlement construction and an end to the blockade on Gaza.

Earlier this month, Mr Netanyahu offered to renew the freeze in return for Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. The idea was rejected out of hand by Palestinian leaders.
