ZOA Deeply Critical of Obama's Threat To Israel re Building in Jerusalem

Reacting to the publication of the construction program, which was already approved by the Jerusalem Municipality two years ago, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, "The United States is deeply concerned by reports that the Israeli government has moved forward with the planning process in a sensitive area of east Jerusalem. This development will only draw condemnation from the international community, distance Israel from even its closest allies, poison the atmosphere, not only with the Palestinians but also with the very Arab governments with which Prime Minister Netanyahu said he wanted to build relations" .
