The Israeli Occupation government
Bethlehem - Emirates Voice
The Israeli Occupation government approved a series of settlement plans, including 12,000 new settlement units in 2017, four times the number in 2016, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper said that the settlement units would be located throughout the West Bank, including Hebron, the Migron settlement and Beit El settlements near Ramallah, West Bank.
“In total, about 12,000 settlement units will be approved in 2017, at various stages of planning and construction, four times the number in 2016,” it said.
Haaretz added that if the Hebron housing is approved it would be the first time for the southern West Bank city since 2002.
Hebron is home to around 200,000 Palestinians, with about 800 settlers living under the protection of Israeli army in several heavily fortified compounds in the heart of the city.
Settlement building in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem is considered illegal under international law. Currently there is a total of 500,000 Israeli settlers.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
