Defying US, Israel Plans to Build 455 More Units in West Bank
-------------------------------------------------------------



Israel has announced plans to build 455 more housing units in the West
Bank, defying demands from the Obama administration for a freeze on
settlement construction. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said
President Obama regrets Israel’s decision. Gibbs said, “the United
States does not accept the legitimacy of continued settlement expansion
and we urge that it stop."
