Israel Fast-Tracks New Security Infrastructure for U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem
(Times of Israel) Israel's National Council for Planning and Construction, its top zoning and planning body, on Tuesday approved new construction work at the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem ahead of its planned transformation into the American embassy in time for Israel's 70th independence day on May 14. The construction work will reportedly include paving an escape road from the compound - every U.S. embassy has one - and building a three-meter (10-foot) security wall around the site.
