（单词翻译:单击）

Israel has announced plans to build 1400 new homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territory the Palestinians claim for their future state.

The new homes are planned in Ramat Shlomo, an enclave in east Jerusalem, and in various West Bank settlements. Israel’s housing ministry1 said 800 new houses will be built in the West Bank and 600 in east Jerusalem.

A spokesman for the Palestinian government on Friday condemned2 the announcement, calling it a message that the Israeli government is not really responding to the international efforts for a two-state solution. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed3 the announcement during US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit.
