Israel to expand West Bank homes
goes with this story:
Israel has officially approved the construction of nearly 400 new homes in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli defence ministry has announced. It says the decision to build 366 housing units has been authorised by Defence Minister Ehud Barak. This is the first new government-approved construction project in the West Bank since PM Benjamin Netanhyahu came to power in March. It comes despite a US pressure to halt building at settlements.
So, actually, the number or the amount of homes will be increased. The homes themselves will not be expanded.
The BBC played a terminology game: expansion is such an evil-sounding word.
