Israeli Cabinet 'Secretly' Greenlights Dozens Of Illegal West Bank Settlements

Israel's expanded approval of Jewish settlements comes amid increased settler violence against Palestinians

Israel's cabinet has secretly approved a record number of new Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank amid the war with Iran, Israeli media reported on 10 April.

According to the Times of Israel (TOI), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet ratified 34 new settlements in a single decision several weeks ago.

Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law.

The decision puts the Israeli government on a course to surpass its own record for establishing settlements in a year. According to the Israeli activist group Peace Now, 54 settlements were approved by the Israeli government last year – an all-time high.

Sources told i24NEWS that the cabinet initially kept the decision classified. However, details were leaked on Thursday with approval from Israel's military censor.
