Israel to build 450 new West Bank settler homes: NGO
 

https://s.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/.v...ed039cf82e.jpgIsrael on Friday published tenders to build 450 new settler homes in the occupied West Bank, a watchdog said, in a plan de**unced by the Palestinians as a "war crime". Settlements watchdog Peace **w tied the move to Israel's March 17 general election in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud is competing with other rightwing parties for the settler vote. "It is a pre-election grab to establish facts on the ground made by the Netanyahu government," a Peace **w statement said. It said the inevitable US condemnation would add to strains over Netanyahu's acceptance of a controversial invitation to address Congress on Iran that has sparked a bitter row with the White House.
