Israeli premier to seek parliamentary vote on law legalizing settlements

‘Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a vote at the Knesset (parliament) aimed at legalizing all wildcat settlements built on occupied Palestinian lands.
A statement by Netanyahu’s office said a bill would be sent to the parliament later on Monday “to allow us to regularize once and for all settlements in (the occupied West Bank) and prevent repeated attempts to damage them.”

The prime minister further said the proposed law is “designed to normalize the status of” the Judea and Samaria settlements in the West Bank.’
