Hauser: Building and planning in Jerusalem will continue

Planning and building in Jerusalem will continue, Cabinet secretary Tzvi Hauser said  in an interview Thursday with Israel Radio.
Hauser also said that the primary conflict on the construction issue is in the media, and not between Israel and the United States.
He added that that Monday's announcement of plans to build a further 1,345 housing units in east Jerusalem was agreed three weeks ago, and he did not know why it was announced during Prime Minister Netanyahu's US trip.
