Smotrich Discloses 1000 Settlement Units After Goods Restrictions
Israel has revealed its intention to establish 1,000 new settlement units in northern the West Bank, following the announcement by 12 Western countries of imposing restrictions on settlement products. Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich announced the addition of 1,665 dunams to the Kida and Hadan settlements, equivalent to the construction of approximately 1,000 new housing units. He described this as a historic step in the expansion of settlements. Israeli settlements on occupied land are considered illegal under international law; however, Israel rejects this classification and the government works to legitimize them. The Kida and Hadan settlements were established in 2001 and 2003 and have been converted into official settlements. These steps come as the Israeli government aims to bolster settlement expansion amid increasing international criticism and a wave of calls for legal accountability due to the settlement activities and violations against Palestinians.
