Zionist Entity Planning 800 More Settler Units in West Bank

The Zionist entity is planning to build at least 800 more settler units in the occupied West Bank amid an international outcry against the Tel Aviv regime’s land grab policies.

Israeli settlementsThe Israeli human rights group Peace Now said Tuesday that Israel's Civil Administration secretly allocated land for 800 housing units inside the Givat Eitam settlement south of Bethlehem.

The planned settler units will reportedly be built on the land belonging to Palestinian residents of the village of al-Nahla south of Bethlehem, and northeast of the Efrat settlement.

The rights group added that the allocation comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2013 announced that plans for more settlement construction are canceled in Givat Eitam.

The Israeli occupation has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds over the past decades by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.
