COMMENTS: ABC Labels West Bank Town as Annex of Israel
A housing story of a different kind was filed by Simon McGregor-Wood. ABC sent him to the Jewish settlement of Har-Homa on the West Bank, provocatively labeling it as being inside Israel to cover "Israel's answer to the Obama Administration's demands to freeze settlement construction." Har-Homa will have 200 new apartments this year. "They want to build 900 next year." George Mitchell, Barack Obama's envoy to the region, was told in Damascus and Cairo and Ramallah that there would be no Arab diplomacy with Israel until construction halts.
