Jerusalem Panel Okays New Housing in Ramot Neighborhood, Over Green Line

The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee adds 56 residential units to 700 already planned in Ramot, by expanding building density, not the boundaries of the planned area. Ir Amim’s Aviv Tatarsky: “Recently there has rarely been a week without condemnations of the Israeli government by the international community, due to the promotion of construction over the Green Line in Jerusalem and on the West Bank.” However, he adds, “the Israeli government has adopted unilateral steps that won’t promote the peace and security to which Israelis are entitled.”
