Smotrich Launches West Bank Settlement Initiative
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the launch of an "Settlement Revolution" in the West Bank, which includes expanding settlements and extending them beyond the West Bank into the Negev and Galilee. This announcement comes after the approval of the establishment of 13 new settlements, focusing on strategic settlement sites, thereby strengthening Israel's control over the land and discouraging prospects for a two-state solution. The number of outposts has increased significantly in recent years, with expansion in 2024 and 2025 reaching record levels, amid a rise in Palestinian attacks.
