Official data show Israel’s settlement activities increased sharply
Official data show Israel’s settlement activities in the occupied West Bank have increased sharply and considerably in the first quarter of this year.Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics says there has been a 219 percent spike in completion of the settler units and a 93 percent rise in starting new building projects.
The figures only provide the data related to Israel’s construction activities before the March election in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised yet more increase in settlement expansion plans. Tel Aviv is facing growing international criticism even from its closest ally, the U-S, over such activities. The international community considers Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land as illegal.
