Yesterday’s announcement alone signalled the building of a number of housing units equivalent to two per cent of all homes built in the occupied territory since 1967.
Kunngjøringen i går utgjør alene 2 prosent av alle boliger som er bygget i det okkuperte området siden 1967.
In October, the Israeli authorities approved the construction of 797 new housing units in the settlement of Gilo and 108 new housing units in East Talpiot in East Jerusalem.
I oktober godkjente israelske myndigheter 797 nye boliger i Gilo og 108 nye boliger i Talpiot i Øst-Jerusalem.
Israel is also planning to build a military academy on non-Israeli territory on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

In addition, two new settler outposts have been built in the West Bank this autumn: Nahalei Tal and Tzofim North, northwest of Ramallah and adjacent to the Tzofim settlement north of Qalqilya, respectively.
I høst har i tillegg to nye utposter blitt etablert på Vestbredden; Nahalei Tal og Nord-Tzofin – henholdsvis nordvest for Ramallah og nær Tzofin-bosettingen nord for Qalqiliya.
“I urge Israel to reverse the decision to invite bids for the construction of new housing units.

Norway deplores judgments against Saudi human rights defenders
Norge tar avstand fra dom mot saudiske menneskerettighetsforsvarere
Saudi Arabia recently condemned two human rights activists to long prison sentences for having started a human rights organisation amongst other things.
Saudi-Arabi dømte nylig to menneskerettighetsaktivister til lange fengselsstraffer for blant annet å ha startet en menneskerettighetsorganisasjon.
“Norway deplores the judgments against the Saudi human rights defenders Mohammed al-Qahtani and Abdullah al-Hamed,” said Gry Larsen, State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Norge tar avstand fra dommene mot de saudiske menneskerettighetsforsvarerne, Mohammed al-Qahtani og Abdullah al-Hamed, sier statssekretær Gry Larsen.
Mohammed al-Qahtani has been condemned to ten years’ imprisonment and an additional ten-year ban on travel for having started the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA) amongst other things.
Mohammed al-Qahtani er dømt til ti års fengsel og ytterligere ti års reiseforbud, for blant annet å ha startet organisasjonen Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA).
The court ordered that ACPRA was to be closed down, and its assets and publications confiscated.
Retten beordret ACPRA nedlagt, samt at dens midler og publikasjoner blir konfiskert.
It is reported that both Mr al-Qahtani and Mr al-Hamed have appealed against the judgments.
Al-Qahtani og al-Hamed skal begge ha anket dommene.
Norway is concerned about these judgments and other recent serious violations of human rights in Saudi Arabia.
Norge er bekymret på grunn av disse dommene og andre alvorlige brudd på menneskerettighetene i Saudi-Arabia den senere tiden.
