Palestinians and the Israeli group Peace Now warned the move to build 44 new units jeopardized the international roadmap to Middle East peace. The news comes as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is visiting Jerusalem to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Olmert agreed to hold a three-way meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
