Israel's Civil Administration last week approved the wording of the publication for two future construction plans in Gush Etzion, one which will include 170 housing units in Neve Daniel and the other, 25 housing units in Metzad.
"We are continuing the momentum of construction in Gush Etzion," said Shlomo Ne'eman, head of the Gush Etzion Regional Council.
"The plans that passed for final approval last week are a small part of our plans for the development and expansion of the Gush."
