Israel has invited tenders for construction of more housing units in the occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds, Israel's Channel 10 says.
The housing ministry has sought bids for building a total of 696 new homes in the settlements of Neve Yaacov, Pisgat Zeev and Har Homa, the channel said.
The expansion of Israeli settlements is considered the main hindrance to the resumption of peace talks.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds in the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed it in a move never recognized by the international community.
On November 16, Israel approved a plan to construct 900 new housing units in a fourth Jerusalem Al-Quds settlement, Gilo, in a move that drew strong rebuke from the international community.
The expansion of the settlements comes as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November declared a 10-month moratorium on the construction of new homes in the West Bank.
