Israeli Regime Advances Plans for 895 New Settlement Units across Occupied West Bank

In its weekly report released on Saturday, the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, said the plans involve three main tracks: expanding settlement housing, converting agricultural land and open spaces for urban and industrial use, and developing services to support further settlement growth.

The proposed projects cover the governorates of Qalqilya, Salfit, Nablus, Ramallah and el-Bireh, and Hebron (al-Khalil), as well as the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the southern occupied West Bank.

Among the largest projects, Israeli authorities plan to add 288 housing units to the Kedumim settlement, built on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Kafr Qaddum in Qalqilya, while another plan предусматриates 200 additional units in the Talmon settlement near Ramallah.

In Hebron, the proposed expansion includes 225 new units in the Beit Hagai settlement. Meanwhile, near Nablus, agricultural land would be converted to accommodate 83 additional units in the Elon Moreh settlement.

All Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law.
