A report released by left-wing organizations documents a broad range of government settlement initiatives in Judea and Samaria over the past three years, including the establishment of 185 new outposts — approximately 130 of them farms and hilltop communities — alongside planning for over 40,000 housing units. In 2025 alone, 27,941 housing units were advanced, more than double the previous annual record, according to the report's authors. The document also cites the approval and regulation of 102 new settlements and outposts.
A report published by left-wing organizations on Tuesday details a sweeping expansion of Israeli settlement activity in Judea and Samaria under the current government. The document counts 185 new outposts established over three years, including some 130 farms and hilltop communities, along with planning for 40,064 housing units. In a notable acceleration, 27,941 units were advanced in 2025 alone — more than double the previous annual peak, the authors state. The report also notes the regularization of 102 settlements and outposts. As The Zioneer has reported over recent weeks, the government has advanced multiple settlement initiatives: the cabinet voted on a plan for 61 new settlements in June; the Samaria council won U.S. congressional support for 18 new communities; and the Planning Council approved 576 housing units across the region last week. The current report, compiled by organizations critical of the settlement enterprise, frames its findings as a challenge to the government's policies. The full methodology and sources for its claims have not been independently verified.
