Israel advances 2,342 settler homes, capping off record year under Trump
|
[IsraelTimes] Majority of units to be constructed deep in West Bank; projects approved for Jordan Valley outpost legalized by cabinet and town hit by terror attack.
| Consequences. None of this would be happening if the Palestinians had signed a peace treaty with Israel back when Bill Clinton was president. Or George W. Bush or Barack H. Obama. But President Trump doesn’t care, and the odds are good he will be in office for another four years. |
The Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee ‐ the Defense Ministry body responsible for authorizing settlement construction ‐ published on Thursday the protocol from a meeting it held earlier this month when it made the approvals.
The quarterly session was the last held during the 2019 calendar year, during which plans for 8,337 homes were advanced ‐ the most since 2013. Each of Trump’s nearly three years in office saw an increase in settlement approvals, with 6,742 green-lit in 2017 and 5,618 advanced in 2018.
Under unofficial settlement guidelines coordinated with the White House when Trump took office, Israel agreed that the Civil Administration committee would meet once every three months instead of once every month.
Breaking from its predecessors, the Trump administration has avoided criticizing settlement construction. Outgoing peace envoy Jason Greenblatt said he refers to Israeli localities over the Green Line as "neighborhoods and cities," while US Ambassador David Friedman has said he does not see anything wrong with Israel maintaining control over parts of the West Bank.
However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
both have stated that Israel should hold off on annexation plans for the time being while Washington is gearing up to introduce the political portion of its peace plan, which is expected to face further delays with an end to the political deadlock in Israel nowhere in sight.
