On Friday, Israel announced it is offering tenders for another 450 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank, spanning several neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem as well as site s near Hebron.
It’s the first major settlement plan to go public since the elections were scheduled, and watchdog Peace Now was extremely critical, accusing Netanyahu of a “pre-election grab.”
Settler votes are often sought after by right-wing parties, and Netanyahu may be trying to emphasize his policy of dramatic expansions, at the expense of major diplomatic harm, ahead of the vote.
The US again criticized the planned expansion, warning it will “inflame tensions” and harm the peace process. There’s been no sign, despite repeated US complaints, that Netanyahu intends to slow the expansion any time soon.
…ongoing theft of land and ethnic cleansing to continue….only mirracle can stop this gross injustice so carefully planed. Its clear that anger in ME people hearts will only grow untill the day Israel will colapse and its régime destroyed for benefit of humanity.
How is Israel called: "One bomb country"?
Innocent people have been dying all over in ME, because of the influece most wealthy supporters of this horrible régime…one day nobody will mourn when this appartheid and arrogant society wanishes from peoples memory…I am sure of that…Pedro CR
Liberation of Palestine should be priority for whole of Humanity!!!! Pedro CR
Why don't they build some homes for the poor Palestinians? Absent an independent Palestine, those people are part of Israel too. Instead they build for usurpers from foreign countries to confiscate more land from the people who have lived there from ancient times.
Go take a hike America we control you the Zionist mantra.
Nutty Yahoo & the settlers should be sent to the ICC but too bad it's not big enough to fit all of them in. Even if it were, that would be much easier said than done.
