Israel expands illegal settlements with 48,000 new housing units

Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper has reported that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has built or approved around 48,000 settlement housing units since taking office, a figure expected to rise to 50,000.

The figures expose the regime’s relentless expansion of illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank, deepening the theft of Palestinian land in defiance of international law and repeated global condemnation.
