In March 2010, Israel's government approved construction of an additional 1,600 apartments in a large Jewish housing development in northern East Jerusalem called Ramat Shlomo despite the position of the current U.S. Government that acts such as this thwart the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
U ožujku 2010., izraelska vlada odobrila je izgradnju dodatnih 1600 stanova u velikom židovskom stambenom naselju u Istočnom Jeruzalemu nazvanom Ramat Šlomo, unatoč stavu tadašnje američke vlade da potezi kao ovaj prijete mirovnim pregovorima između Izraela i Palestinaca.
