Ramallah (QNN)- The Israeli government has announced plans to build 805 new settlement units in occupied Jerusalem, an Israeli website has reported.

Israel’s Housing Ministry on Thursday announced tenders for the construction of 345 new settlement units in the Ramot settlement and 460 others in the Pisgat Ze’ev settlement.

The announcement reportedly coincided with a meeting in Jerusalem between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s top advisor, who arrived in the occupied land Wednesday as part of a wider tour of the region to promote the so-called “Deal of the Century”.
