Israeli Zionist authorities reported plans to build more than 5,000 settlements across the Occupied West Bank region, according to local media.

This expansion in the West Bank enclave was promoted by the Israeli Supreme Planning Committee, which in turn is influenced by the nationalist positions of settler groups, which are violent and have even been condemned by Israel’s allies.

At the head of the violent policy of occupation is the Zionist Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who is a settler in the West Bank, who said that the settlements seek to avoid at all costs the creation of a Palestinian state.

Also, Smotrich have advocated in the Israeli Parliament for legalizing some settlements despite having been condemned by the European Community and the United States.

Despite being illegal, the new measures of the Ministry of Finance have allowed to increase the creation of settlements, this time taking the largest amount of West Bank lands in months.

It should be remembered that Zionist settlers attack civilian Palestinian homes, causing chaos and abusing the inhabitants, all under the eyes of the Israeli Defense Forces, which accept these crimes and are complicit in them.
