Israel has authorized the construction of 3,000 new homes on occupied Palestinian land a day after the United Nations General Assembly voted to revise the status of the Palestinians to that of non-member observer state. US officials have condemned the Israeli move as counterproductive. Kevin Connolly reports.

But it clearly felt that allowing the development to pass without some form of political response would be seen as a sign of weakness. So it has announced its granting permission for 3,000 new homes in the west bank in eastern Jerusalem and speeding up the processing of a further 1,000 existing planning applications. The Palestinians and the overwhelming majority of the international community see the area in question as land occupied by Israel.

So a real chanting march over the Egypt future taking place on the streets of Cairo and other cities across the country.
