Is Israel using settlements to colonize the rest of Palestine?

The Israeli regime has approved plans for the construction of 31 new settler units in the occupied West Bank in grave contravention of international law and a United Nations Security Council resolution against the Tel Aviv regime's land grab policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement group that monitors settlement activity in the West Bank, said that the units will be built in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron), located 30 kilometers south of Jerusalem al-Quds.

About 750,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds. Palestinians want the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
