As 2009 draws to a close, we are bombarded by the annual litany of commentary features recapping the year in Hollywood movies to the year in international conflict, and everything in between.

IPF has released a statement echoing the "dismay" of the White House concerning the approval of plans to build in the area south of Gilo in Jerusalem.

From the statement:

The proposed plan for Gilo goes beyond the recognized borders of that neighborhood and in fact represents expansion into the West Bank.
This is an ill-advised plan at the wrong time. With negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians ground to a halt, unilateral actions by either Israelis or Palestinians on issues that can only be resolved through negotiations serve to engender mistrust and animosity, and set the parties even further away from the goal of a two-state solution.
