Israel To Build 3,000 Settler Homes After UN Vote

Israel has authorised the construction of 3,000 more housing units in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, according to Israeli officials.

It is also speeding up the processing of 1,000 planning permissions.

The Palestinian Authority has said it will not return to peace talks without a freeze in settlement building.

The decision comes a day after a vote at the UN General Assembly upgraded the Palestinians' status at the UN to that of non-member observer state.

Those settlements and the Gaza blockade are illegal under international law. The longer this goes on, the worse the butcher's payment will be.

Here is the UN report stating its legality
