JERUSALEM - British ambassador to return to consider serving in Israel to protest the decision of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently approved residential development projects. In addition to English, French would have done the same thing.

"Earlier, the Israeli government approved the construction of three thousand houses, and this threatens the two-state solution, and would complicate the negotiation process. We urge the Government of Israel to reconsider its policies," said the Foreign Office in Tel Aviv, told Reuters on Monday (3 / 12/2012).

The British embassy declined to comment further on his protest against Israel's settlement construction. But they insisted Britain would not support the policy of the Israel recognized Palestine after a state observer in the United Nations (UN).

One diplomatic source said that similar steps will be carried out by the French. However, Israeli Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon was not sure of the decision of two members of the UN Security Council.

"I have never heard of this via the foreign ministry or the prime minister. Almost hard to believe I am the truth of this issue," said Yaalon.

Apart approved the construction of three thousand housing around the city of Jerusalem, the Israeli government also accelerated development plan for thousands of homes near Jerusalem. The policy was immediately criticized by a number of countries and is referred to as an effort that will kill the hopes of the Palestinians in developing countries.

On Sunday, Israel had announced the detention of Palestinian tax revenues worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Jewish State argues, the detention was carried out to solve the Israeli Palestinian debt to $ 200 million or approximately Rp1 trillion to the Israel Electric Company.
