Israel's security cabinet approved a large budget to establish dozens of new settlements in Judea and Samaria, according to reports. The decision follows earlier reports of a NIS 1.3 billion plan presented to the cabinet last month. No details on the exact number of settlements or timeline were immediately released.
The security cabinet has approved a substantial budget to establish dozens of new settlements in Judea and Samaria, an official announced Tuesday afternoon. The development follows a series of measures advancing settlement expansion in the region. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, the cabinet had secretly approved a NIS 1.3 billion settlement budget approximately one month ago, a report later revealed. Prior to that, on June 11, the cabinet was reported to be considering a plan for 61 new settlements. Today's decision marks the formal approval of a major funding package, though the specific number of settlements and implementation timeline have not been disclosed. The approval comes amid ongoing diplomatic attention on Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria.
