Just hours prior to he headed to Washington for talks with President Barack Obama and alternative comparison US officials, Mr Netanyahu vowed not to behind down on East Jerusalem, that he claimed was as Jewish as the rest of Israel.

"Construction in Jerusalem is similar to building a whole in Tel Aviv and we have simplified that for the American government," he said.

Although the Obama administration department department has considerably malleable the tongue towards Israel in new days, it is far from transparent that it will concede belligerent to Mr Netanyahu on East Jerusalem -- a benefaction that could be seen as an annoying climb-down.

Mr Ban, who is due to encounter Mr Netanyahu after on Sunday, combined his voice to the ubiquitous defamation of Israel"s building a whole activities in East Jerusalem, that is seen by most as a transgression of articles in the Geneva Conventions ruling the administration department department of assigned territory.
