Israel confiscates 8 thousand dunums in the Jordan Valley for settlement. Activists confirmed that this confiscation is the largest in decades.
Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said that the Israeli government’s extremist decisions will not succeed in imposing a fait accompli on the ground. According to estimates, more than 720,000 Israelis reside in illegal settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The international community agrees that the settlements are illegal and constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the two-state solution.
