An Israeli construction worker keeps an eye on a crane working above the building site for an extention to the Maale Zeitim (Olive Heights) religious settlement (rear) on the Mount of Olives August 18, 2008 in East Jerusalem. The settlement, an apartment complex which houses dozens of families, is being built with funding from the Florida-based bingo and gambling magnate Irving Moskowitz by the Ateret Cohanim organization, which is dedicated to expanding Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem, the half of the city that Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.
