Israel to Build 1,400 New Settlement Homes 
-------------------------------------------



The Israeli government is preparing another major settlement expansion
in occupied East Jerusalem. Some 1,400 new homes will be added to the
Gilo settlement near the West Bank town of Bethlehem. It's Israel's
largest known settlement expansion since unveiling plans to add 1,600
homes right during a visit from U.S. Vice President Joe Biden last
March.
