JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel defied U.S. pressure to halt construction in its West Bank settlements Sunday, with key leaders speaking out in support of the contentious enclaves and preparing to sign orders to allow building of hundreds of new housing units there.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are expected to approve orders for about 500 new apartments Monday, said Israeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the plans have not been finalized.

Israel is playing a dangerous game. because if they lose us government support they are doomed.
Wow, those people in Israel are brave. Wonder what Hillary Clinton and the PREZ...think of this? Wonder what they’ll do? Wonder if those Jewish people who voted for the Kenyan are still happy about it?
The dangerous game is giving in Arab demands as forwarded by Obama - it’s Israel and Jews have a right to live in all of it. As far as the Arabs are concerned they should learn a lesson, don’t start none, won’t be none.
Welcome to Free Republic, foreigner. Thank G-d that Israel has a government that has the integrity to do what is right.
As our Fascist Socialist leader causes this great nation to lose respect all over the globe, I am grateful that some governments, like those in Israel and Honduras, have found their courage and can differentiat the feelings of the American people from the diktat of our estranged government.
Way to go, Bibi - up yours, Obooboo
I don’t think so.
Do you honestly think the Israel didn't plan ahead for Obama to throw them under the bus.
Do you honestly think the Mossad didn't already have a dossier full of info on Obama that he was anti-Israel and a closet Jew hater and a friend of the Palestinians
Don't be naive to think Israel is doomed because the US government is currently run by a bunch of Marxist
Like hell they are. It will be the U.S. that is hurt from an angry cut off of aid by Obama -- not Israel.
Israel will survive very well without the rapidly decreasing value of the U.S's 2.6 billion dollars, but America might not survive even one term of "the Messiah."
I agree Israel should not be building housing units there.
They should be building military bases and prisons! Lets see what Obama thinks then.
They lost the support when the m/m got into office and brought in the rest of his closet muslim marxists.
Netanyahu to Obama: “Get bent.”
The U.S. Government did not give them their land, it was a much greater and higher power that did and that higher power will have the final say no matter what the U.S. decides to do.
Israel has all the support it needs from a power greater than the USA.
I am willing to bet money that Israel is not doomed.
So much for the canard that Obama is more respected in the world than George Bush. Lockerbie, Afghanistan, West Bank.
Obama is as flaccid a world leader as he is a flaccid domestic leader.
Seventy five thousand dollars? Even less than that? Will be using wheel barrows full of money just to buy a loaf of bread (just like the Weimer Republic or Zimbabwe).
They lost the support when the m/m got into office and brought in the rest of his closet muslim marxists.
