UN rebukes Israel over Jerusalem settlements
The plans include building in Har Homa (above) and Ramat Shlomo
29 October 2014
Israel has faced strong criticism at the UN Security Council over plans to build homes in occupied East Jerusalem.
UN political chief Jeffrey Feltman said that the settlements would raise "grave doubts" about Israel's plans for durable peace with Palestinians.
The meeting was called after the Israeli PM's office ordered plans for over 1,000 new units to be advanced.
Jewish settlements and Jerusalem are among the most contentious issues between Israel and the Palestinians.
