    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Israel plans to build more than 3,300 new homes in settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in response to a fatal Palestinian shooting attack, a senior Cabinet minister said.

    The decision is bound to frustrate Washington at a time of growing tensions over the course of Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

    It’s an outcome opposed by Netanyahu and his right-wing government — and pushed farther from view, advocates say, as new settlement plans are advanced.

    Consecutive Israeli governments have expanded settlements in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, war-won territories the Palestinians seek for a future state, along with Gaza.

    Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war.

    Israel has held the West Bank under a tight grip — limiting movement and conducting frequent raids against what it says are militant targets.
