Israel's parliament passed an amendment on Tuesday that would make it harder for it to cede control over parts of Jerusalem in any peace deal with the Palestinians Rockies Chad Bettis Jersey , who condemned the move as undermining any chance to revive talks on statehood.


The legislation, sponsored by the far-right Jewish Home coalition party, raises to 80 from 61 the number of votes required in the 120-seat Knesset to approve any proposal to hand over part of the city to "a foreign party."


Last month US President Donald Trump angered the Palestinians, Middle East leaders and world powers by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.


As home to major Muslim Rockies Ian Desmond Jersey , Jewish and Christian holy sites, Jerusalem's status is one of the most sensitive issues in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump's December 6 decision sparked regional protests and prompted the Palestinians to rule out Washington as a peace broker in any future talks.


Nabil Abu Rdainah, a spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, described Trump's policy shift on Jerusalem and the passage of the amendment as "a declaration of war against the Palestinian people."


"The vote clearly shows that the Israeli side has officially declared an end to the so-called political process Rockies Charlie Blackmon Jersey ," Abu Rdainah said, referring to US-sponsored talks on Palestinian statehood that collapsed in 2014.


Palestinians seek to make East Jerusalem the capital of a state they seek to establish in the occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip.


The amendment, long in the legislative pipeline, was passed with 64 lawmakers voting in favour and 52 against.


Opposition head Isaac Herzog said Jewish Home was leading Israel "toward a terrible disaster." Jewish Home's leader Rockies DJ LeMahieu Jersey , Naftali Bennett, said the vote showed that Israel would keep control of all of Jerusalem forever.


"There will be no more political skulduggery that will allow our capital to be torn apart," Bennett said on Twitter.


A bid to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations led by the president's adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner Rockies Gerardo Parra Jersey , has so far shown no progress.


On Sunday, Netanyahu's Likud party unanimously urged legislators in a non-binding resolution to effectively annex Israeli settlements built in the West Bank.


Political commentators said Likud's decision might bolster right-wing support for Netanyahu, who could seek a public mandate in an early election while he awaits possible criminal indictments against him on corruption suspicions. He denies wrongdoing.


Parliamentary elections are not due until November 2019 but the police investigations in two cases of alleged corruption against Netanyahu and tensions among coalition partners in his government could hasten a poll.


Some commentators, pointing to an existing law that already sets a similar high threshold for handing over territory in a land-for-peace deal Rockies Todd Helton Jersey , have said Jewish Home was essentially competing with Likud for support among the right-wing base.

China’s top economic planner yesterday announced new regulations that cut the red tape for domestic companies investing abroad.


The new overseas investment rules will come into effect from March 1 next year, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement.


It does away with the 2014 provision that required companies to get administrative approval for overseas investments worth over 300 million yuan (US$45.85 million) in non-sensitive areas. It would take seven days for NDRC to approve the investment plan.


The new rules will now cut the administrative costs for overseas investment.


Large deals however still have to be reported to the government while those under 300 million yuan no longer need approval from the government.


For projects that have to be approved or recorded, companies must apply directly to the NDRC instead of approaching provincial offices.


The new rules give companies more space in arranging deals by relaxing deadlines for approval or recording procedures. Companies must have the official acknowledgement in hand before implementing the project.


The NDRC said the new rules corrects the regulatory loophole, in which domestic companies carried out overseas investment through an overseas unit.


Various government authorities will work together to improve regulation on overseas investment through online monitoring Rockies Nolan Arenado Jersey , interviews, and selective examinations.


The NDRC said the authorities will enhance inspection of companies for illegal investment and false reporting.


Outbound investment activities of domestic firms should neither threaten China’s national interests and security nor violate the country’s macro-economic and industrial policies.


The new regulations follow the code of conduct put forward last week for private companies seeking overseas investment.


The NDRC and four other government units ordered private companies to report investment plans to the government and warned them not to use the investment deals to transfer assets or money laundering.


The authorities said a similar code will be released for state-owned companies.


China’s outbound direct investment has seen rapid growth in recent years.


Authorities started tightening inspections on outbound investments late last year after becoming aware of “irrational tendency” in the field.


In August, the State Council clarified that overseas investment in areas including real estate, hotels Rockies Trevor Story Jersey , cinemas, and entertainment would be restricted, while investment in sectors such as gambling would be banned.


Outbound investment however is being encouraged under the Belt and Road Initiative and infrastructure constructions.


In a report last month, the NDRC said China continues to improve management systems and policies on outbound investment Womens Wade Davis Jersey , and the country still has a huge grow The Key To Successful Addict.
