Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday criticised Jerusalem city council for pushing ahead with plans for an archaeological park in annexed east Jerusalem that will involve razing 22 Arab homes.
But the minister’s remarks focused on the timing rather than the substance of the decision, which he said lacked “common sense.”
“Jerusalem municipality and the (planning and building) committee are not demonstrating any common sense or any sense of timing - and it is not the first time,” Barak said a statement released by his office.
