| Description | Israel has risked angering its US allies by approving the construction of 900 more homes in a settlement in East Jerusalem, even as President Nicolas Sarkozy pushed for a peace summit.
The interior ministry confirmed the new construction, amid reports that Mr Netanyahu had turned down a direct request from Washington's envoy, George Mitchell, to halt the programme.
Mr Netanyahu and Mr Abbas came close to a Washington-brokered deal for talks earlier this year, but Mr Netanyahu insisted on going ahead with building projects already planned in existing settlements. |
