quote [ "Now we can build," a Jerusalem official says, as a staunch Israel supporter takes office in the US.
Jerusalem's City Hall approved construction permits for 566 new homes in the East Jerusalem settlements of Pisgat Zeev, Ramat Shlomo and Ramot. Mr Turgeman said: "I was told to wait until Trump takes office because he has no problem with building in Jerusalem. "The rules of the game have changed with Donald Trump's arrival as president. We no longer have our hands tied as in the time of Barack Obama." He said the delay was at the request of Mr Netanyahu in the wake of the 23 December UN Security Council resolution opposing Israeli settlement construction. ] Netanyahu is almost as happy as Putin.
