Israel's Jerusalem Municipality's local planning and construction committee presented the construction plans for 770 settlement housing units.
According to the Israeli website Walla, the new units will be considered by Israel as part of al Quds district, and will be built between the illegal Gilo settlement and the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, across from the Cremisan monastery in the Bethlehem district of the occupied West Bank.
Israel had previously approved 1,200 housing units to be built in the area, and the plans for 770 of them were reportedly presented late last week.
According to Walla, excavations and preparation works for the new housing units have already begun.
The head of the municipality's local planning and construction committee, Meir Turgeman, reportedly disregarded international condemnations of Israel's illegal settlement activity, saying that despite what happens politically, settlement construction will continue in occupied East Jerusalem and across the West Bank.
