Following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced that his government will be constructing thousands of housing units in areas throughout Yehuda and Shomron. This was met by a threat from PA (Palestinian Authority) Mayor of the autonomous area of Hebron, who plans to take his opposition to Israel�s High Court of Justice in the hope of preventing Israeli construction of thirty new housing units in Hebron. The PA mayor is hopeful the left-wing liberal court justices will see his viewpoint and intercede to prevent the building of the new homes for the Jewish community.

As reported earlier by YWN-ISRAEL, the final approval for the homes in Hebron and other areas including; Beit El, Kfar Etzion, the Southern Hebron Hills and Tekoa, is expected next week.
