Israel will build 6,000 new homes for Jewish settlers and 700 new homes for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a conservative who is drumming up ultra-nationalist Jewish support ahead of a Sept. 17 election, has hinted that Israel could annex its West Bank settlements – in defiance of world powers that view the enclaves as illegal. The approvals were given for the West Bank under Area C which according to the 1993 Oslo interim peace accords is fully controlled by Israeli security and citizens.
