Israeli occupation commits billions to expand illegal settlements across the West Bank

The pace of settlement advancement in the occupied West Bank is unprecedented. Bezalel Smotrich – finance minister and illegal settler – has long opposed the creation of a Palestinian state. He has now not only called for the complete conquest of the Gaza Strip, but is also promising a settlement “revolution”. Expansion of settlements will further tighten the occupation’s control The occupation is actively advancing major settlement and infrastructure projects across the occupied Palestinian territory. According to Peace Now, most of these new settlements are deep inside the West Bank, where there is very little or no Israeli occupation presence. This…

Israel’s approval of new illegal settlements will further isolate East Jerusalem and deepen its unlawful occupation

Israel’s approval of plans to establish 13 new illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is yet another example of the abhorrent and utter disregard of the international rules-based order by Israel. This forms another troubling development in the rapidly deteriorating situation on the ground in the Occupied Palestinian Territories which calls for urgent and substantive measures by all states. The approved ‘Binyamin’ plan is yet another attempt to further fragment Palestinian territory and isolate East Jerusalem from its surrounding Palestinian communities. It is situated along Route 60, the central north-south artery running through the West Bank that links Palestinian cities,…

Illegal West Bank settlements advertised at Israeli event in London

Despite denials from organisers, evidence gathered inside the event shows occupied Palestinian land was being marketed Properties from seven illegal settlements were advertised at the Great Israeli Real Estate Event on Sunday in London, days after more than 100 MPs and groups urged the UK government to ban it. Organisers had told journalists last week that all exhibitors at the event “without exception” would only provide information about properties for sale within the Green Line – the internationally recognised border between Israel and Palestine. But brochures circulated at the event which Jewish Anti-Zionist Action (JAZA) shared with Declassified and others posted…

The event was moved to the synagogue after a first venue pulled out. Protesters held a prayer service in the street and held a banner stating ‘war crimes out of…

“No longer in denial” — Israeli settlements admit years of serial, filmed child rape

A screenshot from the Kan 11 programme, which is only viewable on YouTube in Hebrew, and by using a VPN set to Israel. Israel’s long-running paedophilia scandal has exploded. A new documentary shown on Israeli TV has capped years of campaigning by victims and allies this week. Titled “No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse”, the Kan 11 ‘Zman Emet’ programme contained testimonies by victims living in illegal settlements that their leaders engaged in the gang-rape of children. The ‘leaders’ filmed the abuse and distributed it to their fellow paedophiles — and the local council has acknowledged the…
