Israel Approves 3,000 New Settler Homes in West Bank

Mondoweiss

Israel says it will build 3,000 new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank, BBC reports.

The aim was to fulfill demands for housing and "return to normal life", the defence ministry said.

A Palestinian official condemned the move and warned that chances for peace were being destroyed.

"The silence of the new American government, including those who actively support the settlements in the White House and the administration as a whole, has emboldened Netanyahu to persist with his settlement activities," Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi said.
