🇮🇱 ❌️ 🇵🇸 Israel approves record 34 new West Bank settlements
The Israeli cabinet quietly approved the establishment of an unprecedented 34 new settlements in the occupied West Bank in a meeting two weeks ago, according to the Times of Israel and i24 News—the largest single approval of settlements by any cabinet to date.
The decision brings the total number of new settlements established or retroactively legalized by the current government since it took office in 2022 to 103. By comparison, only six new settlements were formally approved by Israel in the three decades following the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.
The approval was kept under wraps during the war at the request of the United States according to two officials that spoke to Ynet.
All Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank remain illegal under international law.
