Threat of action needed to stop Iran nukes -Israel

In an announcement a day after Netanyahu met Biden, Israel's Interior Ministry said it was pushing ahead with plans to build 1,300 new apartments for Jewish families in Arab East Jerusalem.
U.S.-Israeli relations were strained in March when the ministry announced a similar housing project during a visit by Biden to Israel.
Netanyahu flies later in the day to New York and will meet U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon soon after his arrival.
An Israeli official said Netanyahu would raise Israel's objections to any unilateral Palestinian statehood moves in the world body.
