"The Antiquities Authority is surveying the site of the new east Jerusalem Jewish neighborhood at Givat Hamatos in advance of construction there, according to Aviv Tatarsky of the Left-wing NGO, Ir Amim.

building permits have been issued for 115 housing units in the Jerusalem Jewish neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, in a section located beyond the pre-1967 line.
