Palestinian supporters of Popular Resistance Committees take part in a rally to mark the 12th anniversary of Al-Aqsa Intifada (uprising) in Gaza city on Sept. 29,2011. Israel on Tuesday approved construction of 1,100 homes for Jews on the annexed land in the West Bank, a move that could complicate international efforts to renew peace talks and defuse a crisis over a Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations.
