JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel's interior minister and deputy prime minister, Elie Yishai, is to lay the foundation stone of a new administrative centre for Jewish settlements in the West Bank, his office announced on Sunday.
It said the ceremony would take place on Thursday, at a time when the international community has called on Israelis and Palestinians to abstain from any action which could hamper peace efforts.
Yishai, head of the religious party Shas, a governing coalition member which supports settlements, is to take part in the ceremony in Meitarim, an industrial zone south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Under US pressure, Israel has imposed a 10–month moratorium on new construction in the West Bank that runs out on September 26. Annexed east Jerusalem, homes already under construction and public buildings are exempted.
