The Israeli advocacy group Peace Now says authorities in Israel are scheduled to approve or advance the construction of more than 6,000 new housing units in dozens of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two days of talks on the huge expansion plan are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday by Israel\u2019s Higher Planning Committee, the defense body responsible for settlement planning, after which approval is expected, Peace Now said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is clear that the primary goal of the current government, from its decisions to its actions, is the dismantling of any possibility for a political solution between Israelis and Palestinians,\u201d the advocacy group said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince the start of the war, the Israeli government has focused all its efforts on building, developing, and investing in construction across the West Bank,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOngoing settlement construction, along with the decision to establish new settlements deep in the West Bank and the transfer of planning powers from the army to [far-right Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich\u2019s officials, will lead to disaster for Israel and the region,\u201d the group added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a government without any public support, and it must be ousted in order to save us from total destruction and perpetual war.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
