Israel has unveiled a controversial new plan for settlement expansion, putting further strain on the peace process. The announcement may be connected to a deadly Palestinian terrorist attack last week.
以色列公布了一项引发争议的扩大定居点的新计划，这使得和平进程进一步紧张化。以色列宣布这项计划可能和一些巴勒斯坦人上周发动造成伤亡的恐怖袭击有关。
Israeli Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim announced that Israel plans to build more than 1,000 new homes in the occupied territories. He said the plan includes 350 apartments in Givat Ze'ev, a West Bank settlement near Jerusalem, and 750 homes in Pisgat Ze'ev, a settlement in East Jerusalem.
以色列住房建设部长波依姆宣布，计划在占领区建造1千多处新住房。他说，这项计划包括在耶路撒冷附近、约旦河西岸吉瓦特.齐夫定居点的350套公寓和在东耶路撒冷的皮斯加特.齐夫定居点的750栋住房。
"We continue according to our plans, and there are no limitations," said Ze'ev Boim.
波依姆说：“我们按照计划继续扩建，并不存在任何限制。”
The new homes will be built on land the Palestinians seek for a future state. Both the Palestinians and the United States say settlement construction violates the "road map" peace plan, which is the foundation for new peace talks. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.
这批新住房将建造在巴勒斯坦人争取成为未来本国领土的地点。巴勒斯坦人和美国都认为建造定居点违反中东和平路线图，而这个路线图是未来和谈的基础。巴勒斯坦谈判人员埃雷卡特说：
"This decision is undermining all efforts being exerted to revive the peace process," said Saeb Erekat.
“这项决定破坏了为恢复中东和平进程而进行的一切努力。”
Israel says it reserves the right to build in East Jerusalem and settlement blocs 1, which it says will remain a part of Israel in any final peace agreement with the Palestinians.
以色列说，它保留在东耶路撒冷等定居点建造住房的权利，这些地方在与巴勒斯坦人达成的任何最终和平协议中都将是以色列领土的一部分。
Announcement of the settlement expansion came just three days after a Palestinian gunman attacked a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and killed eight young students. The seminary was a bastion of the settlement movement in the West Bank.
在宣布扩大定居点决定的3天前，一名巴勒斯坦枪手袭击了耶路撒冷的一个犹太教神学院，杀死了8名青年学生。这所神学院是在约旦河西岸建设犹太人定居点的主要支持者。
Israeli media say the construction plan is Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's way of appeasing 2 the settlers and right-wing members of his government.
以色列媒体说，奥尔默特总理试图以扩建定居点计划安抚定居点的犹太人和政府中的右翼人士。
