Historic Settlement Expansion Unfolds in the West Bank

In a move shrouded in secrecy, the Israeli government has greenlit a record-breaking 34 new settlements across the occupied West Bank, a decision reportedly made at the behest of the US administration. This development is particularly noteworthy, as it paves the way for the establishment of settlements not only in areas devoid of Palestinian residents but also within the boundaries of Palestinian-controlled cities, specifically those designated as Area A. This unprecedented approval is in line with the Israeli coalition’s 2022 manifesto, which envisions the full annexation of the occupied West Bank. Notably, this marks the 103rd settlement approval since the current government took office.
