Israel announces creation of 22 settlements
The Star
|May 30, 2025
ISRAEL announced yesterday the creation of 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, risking further strain on relations with the international community already taxed by the war in Gaza.
-
Israeli settlements in the West Bank are regularly condemned by the United Nations as illegal under international law, and are seen as one of the main obstacles to a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
The decision to establish more, taken by the country’s security cabinet, announced by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, himself a settler, and Defence Minister Israel Katz, who is in charge of managing the communities.
“We have made a historic decision for the development of settlements: 22 new communities in Judea and Samaria, renewing settlement in the north of Samaria, and reinforcing the eastern axis of the State of Israel,’ Smotrich said on X, using the Israeli term for the West Bank, which it has occupied since 1967.
“Next step: sovereignty!” he added.
Katz said the initiative “changes the face of the region and shapes the future of settlement for years to come”.
