Are not new settlements.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to seek cabinet approval for a new map of "national priority" zones does not contradict Israel's declaration of a 10-month construction freeze in West Bank settlements, the prime minister's bureau assured senior United States administration officials late Thursday.

The new map would enable another 110,000 settlers - most of whom live outside the major settlement blocs - the economic benefits such as Apartheid roads and Berlin walls conferred on residents of zones already included on Israel's list.

Senior U.S. administration officials told Haaretz earlier Thursday that the prime minister's bureau had provided satisfactory explanation that the AIPAC supported it as long as the benefits plan was in keeping with the temporary freeze and that money would not be transferred for new housing in the settlements.
