Israel approves nearly 300 settlements
Sun May 22, 2011 1:12PM
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has approved the construction of 294 new illegal Jewish settler units in the occupied Palestinian land.
The settlements are to go up in the Beitar Ilit settlement in the occupied West Bank, AFP reported on Sunday.
Tel Aviv occupied the territory in 1967 and later annexed it in the face of the international community's refusal to recognize either move.
The United Nations and the European Union call the settlements illegal as they are constructed on the occupied territories.
The UN also considers the settlement expansion to be illegal under the international law. (Yet another example of candy floss International rhetoric.) William Gladys.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to lift a partial freeze on the settlement activities last September, thus occasioning a halt in the direct talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Anti-settlement NGO Peace Now said Israeli settlers have started building about 2,000 settler units since the moratorium was lifted.
