The Palestinian movement says the US$2.6 billion settlement infrastructure plan is a dangerous escalation of the occupation.
TEL AVIV: Palestinian movement Hamas criticised the agreement between Israel i authorities and the Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria to build 12,000 new housing units in Jewish settlements, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
“The agreement between the extremist Zionist occupation government and the so-called Council of Settlements in the northern West Bank to construct 12,000 new colonial-settlement units, in addition to allocating 8 billion shekels to develop settlement infrastructure, is a dangerous, criminal, Judaising agreement and an escalation in the occupation’s cruel war and its attempts to take control of the West Bank, seize its lands, and displace its residents,” the movement said in a statement on Tuesday. Israel’s settlement expansion activities in the West Bank is one of the main obstacles in its relations with the international community and the Palestinian Authority.
Besides, these steps serve as an obstacle to the peace progress with the Palestinians, who perceive the Israeli settlement activities as an occupation of Palestinian territories. In December 2016, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2334 demanding to end the Israeli settlement activity, which Israel refused to comply with. In December 2025 the Israeli Security Council approved the creation of 19 new settlements across the West Bank.
