The Washington Post reports that the "Israeli government said Sunday that it had approved the construction of hundreds of new homes in West Bank settlements after a couple and three of their children were stabbed to death in their home in a Jewish settlement Friday night... In a response to the slayings, the office of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said senior ministers had approved "measured construction" of up to 500 housing units in several settlements in the West Bank: Maa'leh Adumim, Ariel, the Etzion settlement bloc and Kiryat Sefer."

"They murder and we build, and we will build our country," Netanyahu told relatives of the victims after a funeral that was broadcast live on national radio and television. Tweet
