Israel approves about 300 new settler units in West Bank

‘Israel has approved the construction of 285 new settler units in the occupied West Bank in defiance of international calls to end the illegal project in the Palestinian territories.
The Tel Aviv regime approved the building of 234 settler units in the illegal settlement of Elkana, 31 in Beit Aryeh, and 20 others in Givat Ze’ev, Israel’s Haarez daily reported on Wednesday.
The regime also retroactively legalized some 178 housing units already built in the illegal Beit Aryeh settlement.
Israel “continues to plan and build all over the West Bank, while also giving settlers the message that any construction done without planning will be retroactively legalized,” settlement watchdog Peace Now said.’
