Bulldozers work at a construction site in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Zeev, Friday, Oct. 15, 2010. Israel's government says it has approved the construction of 238 homes in Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, ending an unofficial freeze on new building there for nearly a year. An Israeli settlement slowdown imposed last November in the West Bank did not officially include east Jerusalem, which Israel considers part of its capital. The issue of Israeli settlement building is threatening to derail recently renewed Mideast peace talks.
