emonstrations in solidarity
with settlers and a Cabinet
committee's approval for
new housing in the West Bank are
among the Israeli responses to the
terrorist attack that killed five mem-
bers of a West Bank Jewish family
last week.
An estimated 20,000 people
attended Sunday afternoon's funeral
at a cemetery in Jerusalem to mourn
the deaths of Udi Fogel, 36, Ruth
Fogel, 35, and their children Yoav, 11;
Elad, 4; and Hadas, 3 months.
Two sons — Roi, 8, and Yishai, 2
— were sleeping in a side bedroom
and were spared in the Sabbath eve
attack in Itamar on March 11. A
daughter, Tamar, 12, returned home
at midnight from a youth group pro-
gram to discover the massacre.
The family had been evacuated
from Gush Katif in the southern
Gaza Strip in 2006 and lived in Ariel
before building a home in the north-
ern West Bank, near the Palestinian
city of Nablus.
Following the funeral, protest-
ers holding demonstrations across
Israel in sympathy with residents
of the West Bank blocked junc-

tions, some holding signs reading
"We are all settlers" and "Peace isn't
signed with blood." One of the larg-
est rallies took place in Tel Aviv near
the army's national headquarters.
Passing drivers honked in solidarity.
Israeli media quoted Palestinian
sources as saying that settlers set
five cars on fire in the Hawara vil-
lage near Itamar and threw stones
at Palestinian cars near Kedumim.
Palestinians also reportedly threw
stones at buses returning to the
Itamar area from the funeral.
Earlier Sunday, an Israeli Cabinet
committee approved the construc-
tion of hundreds of housing units
in West Bank settlements, report-
edly in response to the attack. The
vote, after several months of no new
construction approval, is for 500
housing units in Gush Etzion, Ma'ale
Adumim, Ariel and Kiryat Sefer.
The settlements are believed to be
among those that will remain part
of Israel under any peace agreement
with the Palestinians. The commit-
tee discussed expanding the Itamar
settlement or creating a new settle-
ment in memory of the victims,
Haaretz reported.
The United States, which wants an
Israeli freeze on settlement build-
