Israel announces major settlement construction project
Israel officially plans to build new settlement housing units in the West Bank as the country builds momentum for annexation with some US support.
Israel announced its plan to build new settlements in the West Bank today as the United States signals it will support Israeli annexation of the Palestinian territory and the top US diplomat plans a visit next week.
On Wednesday, Israel’s Defense Ministry said it had approved the building of around 7,000 housing units in Efrat between Jerusalem and Hebron, Reuters reported.
