’Israel’ Approves New WB Settling Units

Local Editor

"Israel" plans to resume the building of its settlements in the West Bank, according to news reports.

According to media reports, the so-called "Israel's Supreme Planning Council of Civil Administration" is understood to have last week approved the construction of 153 new settling units.

The last time new settlements were approved was in 2014, according to Haaretz.

The news comes just months after the US reportedly warned "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that if new settlements are declared Washington won't come to "Israeli's" aid.

On Sunday he appeared to make the first such concession, saying he would allow settlers evicted by the "Israeli" army to return to their outposts in the West Bank city of al-Khalil.

The "Israeli" regime has been building settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza for several decades, although the number of settlements has dramatically increased over the past 10 years.
