World Defense Minister Ehud Barak voted against the plan saying it would reward settlers living in parts of the West Bank where Palestinians have lately come under attack, such as a village where the inside of a mosque was torched at the weekend. Netanyahu condemned the burning of carpets and copies of the Koran in Yasuf village near Nablus, where graffiti was scrawled in Hebrew calling the act "the price tag," a similar slogan left by suspected settlers after other acts of vandalism. In remarks to his cabinet, Netanyahu denounced the attack as an "especially serious crime" and said he had urged security personnel to speedily apprehend the perpetrators, a statement from his office said. Afterwards Israeli ministers voted 21 to 5 to approve a plan Netanyahu said would set "national, regional priorities" and offered incentives to areas home to nearly half of Israel's Arab population, in addition to peripheral towns and settlements. The plan totals an estimated 2 billion shekels (about $530 million) to improve schools, jobs and infrastructure nationwide earmarks about five percent, 110 million shekels (about $30 million) for about 100 Jewish settlements, an official said. Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, a close ally in Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party said on Israel Radio the added funds would show settlers that despite the freeze, Israel "also supports and reinforces" them. Officials said despite the plan Israel would continue to abide by a limited 10-month suspension in settlement building Netanyahu announced last month as part of an effort to renew stalled U.S.-backed peace talks. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has insisted on a complete halt to settlement building in territory Israel captured in a 1967 war that Palestinians wants for a state, has rejected the freeze as an insufficient step. Barak, leader of the left-leaning Labour party whose cabinet ministers were those voted against the plan, protested that it gave some settlers, "greater proportional representation than their numbers," a statement said. "There are some small settlements who consistently constitute a source of extremists activity," Barak added, citing the weekend vandalism at the mosque in Yasuf, an assault that has sparked outrage in Israel where it dominated news headlines. A group of dovish rabbis met with Palestinians from the village at a West Bank roadblock, to hand over copies of the Koran and apologize for the vandals. "We are here today in order to protest against the deed done in the mosque. By our law, divine law, this is a crime," Menachem Froman, an Israeli cleric and peace activist, said. Earlier on Sunday a Jewish settler woman was stabbed and wounded on a West Bank roadside near Bethlehem in what Israeli police said on Sunday was an attack by a Palestinian militant. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack.
