Israel advances plans for more than 800 settlement homes
2018-12-27
“Hey, Abbas! Thanks for not talking to us — keep doing that for a while, OK? We really need to build another 50,000 units.”
[IsraelTimes] The Defense Ministry body responsible for authorizing settlement construction advances plans for over 800 West Bank homes, capping off a two-day session that sees the green-lighting of nearly 2,200 homes.

Of the 839 homes okayed by the Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee in 25 different plans, 352 gain final approval for construction while 407 homes have their plans cleared through an earlier planning stage known as “deposit.”

Yesterday, 1,352 homes were okayed by the High Planning Subcommittee, with 807 gaining final approval for construction and 545 clearing the earlier planning stage.

In total 2,191 settlement homes are advanced this week, of which 1,038 gain final building approval for construction.
Iran PressTV adds:
Earlier on Wednesday, Netanyahu met with settler leaders in Jerusalem al-Quds.

"We'll see an attempt by the left-wing to overthrow our rule with the help of the media and others," he said, speaking of the polls.

"They can't succeed, because if they do, that will pose a clear danger to the settlement movement," he added.
