| 'Israel has indisputable right to build in East Jerusalem' | |||||
By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said Tuesday that Israel had an "indisputable" right to build anywhere in Jerusalem, including East Jerusalem, following international calls on Israel to halt construction in the disputed area.
(...) Channel 10 quoted Shas Chairman Eli Yishai as saying. "Israel's government and the state of Israel are free to build anywhere in Israel, certainly after having obtained all the relevant permits by law."

| Study: Settlements get more state funding than Israeli cities | |||||
| |||||
| By Reuters Jewish settlements in the West Bank get significantly bigger slice of Israeli government financial help than municipalities in Israel itself, according to a study published on Tuesday. The study by the Macro Center of the Israeli European Policy Network is entitled "Historical Political and Economic Impact of Jewish Settlements in the Occupied Territories." The settler population is also growing more than three times faster than the population of Israel proper, says the report, which traces the development of Jewish settlements since the 1967 Six-Day War. (...) "While Israeli municipalities as a whole receive 34.7 percent of their income from [the government] and obtain another 64.3 percent from their own income, settlement municipalities obtain 57 percent from the [government], and only 42.8 percent from their own income," the study found. Israel's government "allocates 4.1 percent its total budget for municipalities to settlements, although they constitute just 3.1 percent of the total Israeli population", the report adds. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1101829.html | |||||
