Israel to build 10,000 new homes in new Jerusalem neighborhood
Israel's Housing Ministry has reintroduced a plan to build 10,000 homes in the abandoned Atarot Airport property. The plan which was established several years ago, was frozend due to the Obama administration's policies about new construction beyond the 1967 lines. The project is intended to be an ultra-orthodox neighborhood, although there is concern Haredi leaders about the close proximity of the proposed development to Palestinian populations.
