{UAH} THIS IS BREAKING IN ISRAEL BEFORE THE PRESIDENT OF PEOPLE TOUCHES DOWN INTO TEL AVIV

An Israeli official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet approved confidence building measures ahead of President Donald Trump's visit including allowing Palestinian construction in part of the West Bank.

He says Sunday's package includes Palestinian building permits for a West Bank area under Israeli control known as Area C. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly before the government's official announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Palestinian Authority has limited say in about 38 percent of the West Bank where most Palestinians live.

The remainder of the land, home to over 350,000 Israeli settlers, has largely been off limits to Palestinian development.

Israeli media reported the package includes economic concessions and opening the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan 24 hours a day.
