(Reuters) - The Israeli government put 91 Jewish settlements on a national priority
funding list on Sunday, adding six to a roster of dozens of enclaves already eligible for supplemental state cash.A senior Palestinian official condemned the decision as an obstacle to U.S.-brokered peace talks that resumed just a week ago after a three-year rupture over settlement building on land Palestinians seek for a state.
At its weekly meeting, the Israeli cabinet increased by six the number of settlements built on land Israel captured in a 1967 war on a "national priority" spending list, by adding nine while removing three others.
The "list of settlements with national priority" is a longstanding roster of nearly 700 border towns and settlements eligible for extra development funding above and beyond their normal budgets.
