Israel Approves Palestinian Construction in West Bank

Associated Press

   JERUSALEM - The Israeli Cabinet unanimously approved a proposal to
   build over 700 housing units for Palestinians in addition to 6,000
   Israeli settlement housing units in the West Bank.

   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government advanced the proposal
   late on Tuesday, according to an Israeli official, speaking on
   condition of anonymity to describe the closed-door meeting.

   The approval appeared timed to coincide with a visit by President
   Donald Trump's son-in-law and chief Mideast envoy Jared Kushner, who is
   expected in the region this week.
