1,300 new settlement homes get final approval
|
[IsraelTimes] The Civil Administration has advanced approval for 2,166 new homes in settlements across the West Bank, official figures show, ending an eight-month lull in settlement expansion.
Many of the approved homes are in isolated areas of the West Bank outside of settlement blocs that Israel may hold onto in a future peace deal.
A total of 1,313 homes were given final approval, while another 853 were okayed for an advanced planning stage. Among those are over 500 homes in Har Gilo, south of Jerusalem, which will grow from 1,600 homes once given final approval.
The settlement of Kfar Adumim, east of Jerusalem, says it has gotten approval to add 132 new homes.
The Peace Now organization says the settlement uptick signals Israel’s rejection of Paleostinian statehood and deals a blow to hopes of a wider Israeli-Arab peace.
"Netanyahu is moving ahead at full steam toward solidifying the de facto annexation of the West Bank," it said in a statement ahead of Wednesday’s decisions.
A similar number of homes are up for approval at another meeting Thursday.
