Good news: Americans monitoring Jewish construction in Jerusalem
Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.
The United States has taken upon itself to monitor Jewish construction in Jerusalem according to a report in the Hebrew Makor Rishon newspaper.
Top US officials stationed in Israel have taken it upon themselves to monitor Jewish construction in Jerusalem and other areas claimed by the Palestinian Arabs.And you really believe the freeze will end when the ten months are up in September? What could go wrong?
According to the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon, the US ambassador to Israel, the US consul general in Jerusalem and other officials demand regular updates from Israeli ministers associated with building committees.
As a result of that pressure, building permits for thousands of new housing units in Jerusalem have been held up indefinitely. Government and municipal officials have confirmed that there is an unofficial Jewish building freeze in Jerusalem because of the American pressure.
In related news, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday told London-based pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that Washington had guaranteed him there would be no "provocations" by Israel during the start of US-hosted indirect peace talks scheduled to take place next week.
The Palestinians view Jewish construction in most of Jerusalem as a provocation, and in response have refused to negotiate with Israel.

as long as Husain Barak rules in the US, we will have the zores, it might get better after November
The US is enforcing Apartheid in Jerusalem! This US regime is hypocritical and racist. We should not comply with ANYTHING the US demands. Period.
Hi Carl.
This is crazy you are being dictated by a foreign power what to do or not to do?What's next a ghetto in Jerusalem?
I think the Palestinians are already building the crematoriums the way things are going now.
The Jews are submitting like the good shtel Jew in the Sholom Aleichem story out of fear. And when they have the temerity to resist, they are blamed by fellow Jews for making the Gentile overlord angry. Zionism was supposed to change that condition but thousands of years of Jewish degradation and submissiveness will not be undone in a few generations of Israeli independence.
What could go wrong indeed
Why is this article titled "Good News"? This is an atrocity! Either give all of Israel to the arabs, or let Israel have it NOW!
Have you ever seen The Map of Palestine?
Reuven,
/Sarc tags don't fit in the title and look bad on Twitter.
I thought it would be obvious that I don't regard this as good news.
