Israel widens settler roads in West Bank
Israel's report continues to expand the settlement road network in the West Bank with the aim of connecting settlements and settlement outposts to Israeli cities. This is part of a broader process of isolating Palestinian communities and fragmenting their geographic continuity. The plan allocates over one billion shekels to develop hundreds of kilometers of roads linking more than 100 settlements and 160 farms, with particular focus on outposts such as Homesh, Sanur, and Kedem in northern West Bank. Between 2024 and 2026, approximately 223 kilometers of new roads have been constructed, and about 40 military orders have been issued to expand and utilize "buffer zone" roads, resulting in the confiscation of extensive Palestinian lands. These roads are used to bolster settlement expansion, isolate and fragment Palestinian communities, and facilitate quick and secure movement for settlers, with an emphasis on enlarging settlements and establishing facts on the ground. Additionally, massive settlement agreements have been signed for the construction and expansion of settlements, as the Israeli government seeks to extend its control over Palestinian lands in the West Bank and increasingly impose territorial and settlement dominance.
