ICBS said that over Jewish occupiers completed the construction of over 114 housing units they started building during the 10-month settlement freeze. It added that the occupiers also completed the construction of over than 1,175 housing units which were started before the temporary moratorium.

According to ICBS data, the construction of over 427 housing units has been going on since October 2010.

The Israeli body said that its data is based on partial information, and that there has also been a dramatic rise in unauthorized construction in West Bank settlement outposts that has not been officially documented.

It added that the data does not include mobile homes and tents that are often placed in unauthorized outposts to settle the Palestinian land.

The development came as the occupiers are slated to launch a large-scale campaign against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for the resumption of construction in the West Bank and settlement blocks.

Israeli sources said that the campaign will be launched under the banner “Build, Bibi (Netanyahu’s nickname), build!” The campaign will see various Israeli newspapers quoting ministers of ruling Likud party and MKs calling for the resumption of construction in the West Bank and settlement blocks as well as ads in billboards.

The Council of Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories (Yesha) said that the campaign is aimed at showing Netanyahu he has no backing for the effective renewal of the moratorium.

Yesha said that what motivated the occupiers to launch the new campaign were concerns over a “bold political move” sparked by reports of a new peace plan Netanyahu is slated to unveil in the near future.

Netanyahu’s Office said last week that the PM was considering a plan to cooperate with the Palestinians on the establishment of a Palestinian state with temporary borders, as part of an interim peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority that would be implemented immediately.

On Wednesday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the purported initiative, saying he would not accept an Israeli peace initiative if it called for temporary borders for a future Palestinian state.

Meanwhile, Abbas headed for Britain Sunday for an official visit to discuss the future of peace talks with Israel.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, Secretary General of Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee, said that Abbas will meet British Prime Minister David Cameron and senior officials. Then he will embark on a visit to Denmark, Abed Rabbo told Voice of Palestine Radio.

In Britain, Abbas will see if Europe can engage itself more in the efforts to revive the Middle East peace negotiations, Abed Rabbo said. Abbas’ visit to Europe comes ahead of a meeting of the Quartet of peace mediators, which is scheduled in the middle of March in Paris. The Quartet comprises the United States, European Union, Russia and the United Nations.

The US administration has been the sponsor of the negotiations, but the Palestinian leadership lost confidence in Washington after it vetoed an Arab draft resolution against the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem last month.
