Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Israel's government says it's approved a construction project in a part of the occupied West Bank where previous U.S. administrations have opposed Israeli building.

Israel's security cabinet has approved a new road for Palestinians bypassing a big Israeli

settlement near Jerusalem. Israel says the road would allow for Israeli building in the heart

Khalil Abou Rish is the mayor of the Palestinian village of Bethany in the area.

of the West Bank.
