The Israeli Planning and Construction Committee on Sunday said that Israel intendes to build thousands of new settlement units in the West Bank now that Donald Trump was elected, saying that the settlement project was “frozen for years for fear of angering Obama.”

Israel intends to approve the construction of 1,400 new homes in Ramat Shlomo, a Jewish settlement neighborhood in East Jerusalem that lies beyond the so-called “Green Line,” especially after having Donald Trump elected, Israel’s Channel Two News reported on Sunday.

Before his election, Trump stated that he supports the settlement expansion, and that he will move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, making it “The undivided capital of Israel.”
