Israel Leader Vows Thousands of New Homes in East Jerusalem

   JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced
   Thursday he was pushing ahead with the construction of 5,000 new Jewish
   homes in key areas of east Jerusalem, where critics say additional
   building could cut Palestinian residents off from the rest of the West
   Bank.

   On a visit to the Har Homa neighborhood, Netanyahu pledged to build the
   homes there and in the Givat Hamatos neighborhood. Both lie on some of
   the last spaces of land linking the Palestinian areas of the West Bank
   to their hoped-for capital in east Jerusalem.

   Netanyahu pledged to turn Har Homa into a "mid-sized city," and
   expanding a presence that many believe has already dealt a devastating
   blow to the Palestinian dream of independence.
