Palestinians to ask U.N. Security Council to stop Israel settlement expansion plans
RAMALLAH, West Bank A West Bank official says the Palestinians will ask the U.N. Security Council to halt two massive Israeli settlement projects that he warns will destroy last hopes for a Mideast peace deal. For now, Israel is advancing both projects, E-1 and Givat Hamatos, with some 7,500 apartments. The construction would cut off east Jerusalem, the intended Palestinian capital, from the West Bank. Israel revived plans for E-1 last week, after a majority of U.N. member nations voted to upgrade Palestine's official status to that of "observer state". CBS Radio News correspondent Robert Berger says Israeli leaders insist the construction plans are an appropriate response to last week's UN vote. He says the U.S. must halt construction itself if it wants to avoid casting a veto at the council, as in 2011.
