Israeli municipality in occupied Jerusalem approved Thursday evening the construction of 143 new settlement units in Gilo settlement illegally built in the occupied city.
Israeli media sources said that the new approved housing units came as part of a large settlement project which includes the construction of 900 settlement units.
The approval came only two days after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the construction of 2500 new settlement units in occupied Jerusalem.
The approval is the third of its kind since Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency last week.
