TEL AVIV Not a single Jewish home will be built in the strategic West Bank without approval of the Obama administration and the Palestinians, Nimer Hamad, senior political adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told WND.
In spite of recent reports Israel will build 50 new homes in a northern West Bank Jewish community, Hamad said U.S. guarantees make him "confident" such housing will not actually be constructed.
"The guarantees we received from the U.S. make us confident all the talks about the 50 houses in Adam are only a piece of meat (Defense Minister Ehud) Barak threw to the settlers," Hamad said.
"I am not excited about these reports. I am confident no single housing will actually be built outside an agreement between the Palestinians, the Americans and the Israelis," he said.
Barak's Defense Ministry approved the construction of 50 new homes in Adam, an existing West Bank community, as part of a wider plan to absorb residents slated to be evicted from an area called Migron.
Migron is considered an illegal outpost since it wasn't constructed with Israeli government approval. The U.S. has demanded all illegal outposts be removed.
The new houses in Adam would defy a demand by the Obama administration that Israel halt all settlement activity, including natural growth, in apparent abrogation of a deal made by President Bush in 2004.

God and Obama have one thing in common ... neither has a birth certificate ....
No wonder I read where the Israeli’s are going to boycott the American Embassies 4th of July celebration. The arrogance of this fraud in the WH knows no bounds.
Beginning to understand the comparisons to Hitler more and more. I never thought this Country would elect someone who hates Israel and the United States.
No new homes built in the Israeli democracy, and looks like O is also working towards no new homes built in the US democracy. Take down all democracies, right? Isn’t that the Marxist agenda?
What? Only multi-family?
Meddling Ping.
Aaron Klein is credible, if he said it it’s most likely true.
LOL,,, “Only multi family?”

I don’t view a senior adviser to the Palestinian Authority President as a credible source. This guy’s rantings are no more credible than Ahmadinejad’s claims to have legitimately won the Iranian election.
I’ve always supported Israel, but why are they upset about who they helped vote into power?
Israel, we are still a democrocy and will have your back. We have a small problem in Washington, D.C. He’s shovel-ready and is beginning to show signs of hanging onto the crumbling edge. Hang in there. The grownups will come back into power as in the past.
BOZOnomics causing there to be ZERO home growth!

What do you mean? Israelis don’t vote in US elections.
Unbelievable!
Thank you!
