Israeli protesters swarm EU diplomats in East Jerusalem
The European delegation came to speak out against a new Israeli housing project in the disputed area.
Right-wing Israeli protesters heckled a group of European diplomats in Jerusalem today. The European Union (EU) delegation came to condemn a new housing project in the contested city.
The Israeli government approved the construction of more than 1,200 homes in the strategic Givat Hamatos on Sunday. The move is controversial because Palestinians say it would cut off the Palestinian city of Bethlehem from East Jerusalem, according to The Associated Press.
