A partial view taken on December 18, 2014 shows the east Jerusalem Israeli settlement of Har Homa from the West Bank city of Bethlehem, which was originally built in the 1990s, in the annexed Arab east Jerusalem area of Jabal Abu Ghneim. Construction first began on Har Homa -- or Jabal Abu Ghneim as the site is known to Palestinians -- in 1997, well after the Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. The settlement construction is considered a breach of the Oslo accords by the Palestinians but not by Israel, which does not see east Jerusalem as occupied territory.
