Hebron settlers try to buy more homes

Settlers have plans to purchase additional homes in Hebron with the monetary backing of right-wing Jewish Americans, to expand the size and property holdings of the Jewish community in the city, defense officials told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
The officials said they were aware of a number of right-wing Jews in the United States - in New York, Chicago and Miami - who were helping to financing the purchase of Palestinian homes in Hebron. After the sales are completed, the American Jews also finance the movement abroad of the seller and his family - usually to Jordan.
The officials said that while they were aware of the plans, they could not stop settlers from buying homes in Hebron.
"There is nothing that can be done to prevent two people from signing a contract in private," said a defense official involved in plans to evacuate the four-story, 3,500 square meter stone building that settlers moved into on March 19.
