Israel has pushed on with plans to build a new Jewish settler neighbourhood in east Jerusalem, a watchdog group said Sunday, warning such efforts were being stepped up before US President Donald Trump leaves office.

President-elect Joe Biden has said his administration will restore US opposition to the settlements which are considered illegal under international law and that many governments view as an obstacle to peace.
