'Every Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories is a war crime. With every new announcement, Israel further consolidates its racially segregated apartheid regime.'
Less than two days after Israel's highest court upheld orders for what anti-apartheid campaigners called the 'ethnic cleansing' of eight Palestinian hamlets in the West Bank, Israeli authorities on Friday announced the advancement of nearly 4,000 new Jewish-only settlement homes in the illegally occupied territory.
However, Mossi Raz, a lawmaker with the leftist party Meretz--a member of right-wing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's fragile governing coalition--said the plan is 'immoral and harms the future of Israeli citizens,' The Times of Israel reports. If approved, the Israeli plan would be the most significant settlement expansion during U.S. President Joe Biden's tenure.
