Israeli premier vows to continue
constructions in East Jerusalem

Tel Aviv: The Israeli government will not limit construction in disputed
areas of Jerusalem, despite Palestinians' protests and the global
community's disapproval, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has
said.
The issue of settlement building was in the spotlight again after
Israel announced earlier this week construction of 800 homes for
Jewish families in East Jerusalem. The step was criticised by the
European Union, Russia and others.
"We are not putting any limitations on building in Jerusalem, it
is our capital," Netanyahu said at the start of a weekly cabinet
meeting Sunday.
"The same way that [states] build in every capital - London,
Paris, Washington, Moscow - Israel builds in Jerusalem," he added.
"Our bond to our capital is no less ancient and powerful."
Israel has declared Jerusalem, including the eastern sector of the
city it has occupied since 1967 and later annexed, as its "united
and undivided" capital.
The Palestinians, however, claim their right to create a capital
in the city for their state, and the international community
recognises East Jerusalem as occupied territory, along with the
West Bank of the Jordan river.
