UK BANNED Press TV: The Israeli regime plans to build some 20,000 more illegal settler units in the occupied West Bank.
On Tuesday, Tel Aviv issued tenders for the construction of new settler units in the occupied West Bank despite widespread international criticism of settlements built in the occupied Palestinian territories.
According to reports, 1,200 new settler units will be built in the so-called E1 area which links al-Quds (Jerusalem) to the city of Ma'ale Adumim in the occupied West Bank.
The rest of the new settler units are set to be constructed in several other areas, including the Binyamin Regional Council and Gush Etzion.
Elsewhere, Tel Aviv has authorized the construction of two new illegal settlements in the Negev Desert.
Human rights groups say the measure will lead to the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of Palestinian Bedouins from the area.
They have called for mass rallies against Tel Aviv’s new plan, describing it as the “racist policy” it clearly is.
The presence and continued expansion of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine has created a major obstacle for the efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
The United Nations and most countries regard the Israeli settlements as illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in the 1967 war and are hence subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids construction on occupied lands.
