Construction In Betar Illit Settlement, West Bank
A general view of construction of new housing units in the Israeli settlement of Betar Illit, near Bethlehem in the West Bank, September 2, 2014. This week Israel announced that it plans to expropriate 988 acres of Palestinian land to expand the Gva'ot Settlement in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc. Israeli officials said the move was a political decision after the June murder of three Israeli teens who were kidnapped in the Gush Etzion area. UPI/Debbie Hill
