Israeli Finance Minister allocates $37M for West Bank settlements
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the allocation of approximately 37 million dollars to develop more than 70 heritage sites in the occupied West Bank. This is the first of its kind initiative to develop sites in the area under occupation. The move comes after the Knesset approved a bill to establish the "Heritage Authority in Judea and Samaria," which will oversee the management of archaeological sites and has been granted powers to confiscate and purchase properties related to them. Palestinian opposition views this as an attempt to expand control and reinforce settlement activity. About 750,000 settlers live in the West Bank, where settlement expansion continues to grow, despite the United Nations classifying the settlements as illegal amidst escalating Israeli attacks since the start of the war on Gaza.
