A general view of an area called "Ras al-Amud" is seen in East Jerusalem on land seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war October 24, 2011. Israel plans to build more than 1400 housing units in the new urban settlement in East Jerusalem, media sources said on Monday, angering Palestinians who want a halt to all such projects before they return to peace talks. The Dome of the Rock is seen in the background. Photo by Mahfouz Abu Turk
