Ahlulbayt News Agency: Hebrew media sources announced on Friday that Israeli occupation authorities intend to establish, in the next couple of weeks, more than 3,300 settlement units in the West Bank, in conjunction with the escalating settlers’ violations against the Palestinian people.
The official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that the relevant committee is expected to meet within two weeks, to approve the establishment of 2,350 housing units in the Maale Adumim settlement, east of Jerusalem, in addition to about 300 others in the Kedar settlement southeast of Jerusalem, and 700 units in the Efrat settlement, south of Jerusalem.
If approved by the Israeli extremist government that supports settlement activity, it will be the largest settlement decision since the start of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year.
According to data from the “Peace Now” Movement, which monitors settlement activity in the West Bank, recent years have witnessed a significant escalation of settlement activities in the occupied West Bank.
This move coincides with the International Court of Justice convening in The Hague, to hear the pleadings of about 50 countries, to issue an advisory opinion on the legal consequences of the occupying state’s violation of the Palestinian people’s right of self-determination, in addition to settlement activities, annexation of Palestinian land, and the long-term occupation existing since 1967.
