Gaza, Alray - Israeli NGO Peace Now said that plans to build over 5,000 settlement units have been advanced since the establishment of the current Israeli government until the announcement of renewed peace talks, Jerusalem post reported Monday. 

5,170 units have passed at least one of the planning stages, according to the NGO statement. Some of the plans have been approved for depositing, while some published for depositing and others have already been approved for validation. 

"27% of the units were west of the Separation Barrier, while 29% east of the barrier and 44% between the current built barrier and the planned route of the barrier." 

"The new government talks about two states, meanwhile they are doing exactly the opposite on the ground," the NGO added.

It indicated that "while we are happy that the Israeli government has returned to negotiations, we are waiting to see if Netanyahu will walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. We call the government not to approve any new plans and any new construction in settlements and truly give peace a chance."
