Ynetnews.com reports that the "US was quick to condemn the Interior Ministry's decision to approve the construction of 1,600 housing units in east Jerusalem on Tuesday... Netanyahu, who met with Biden twice on Tuesday, was taken by surprise following the unexpected announcement. "
Vice President Joe Biden, currently visiting Israel, said, "I condemn the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in east Jerusalem. The substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I’ve had here in Israel."
