A senior Israeli minister said Monday he opposes the government's approval of more than 1,300 new settlement housing units in the occupied West Bank, highlighting stark disagreements between the country's ideologically divided coalition members.

Palestinians built new houses in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Bruchin near the Palestinian town of Nablus, Monday, Oct. 25, 2021. Israel is expected to move forward with thousands of new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank this week, a settlement watchdog group said Sunday.

Israeli Housing and Construction Minister Zeev Elkin, of the right-wing New Hope party, on Sunday welcomed the marketing of the tenders. Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, addressing a meeting of his centrist Yesh Atid party, said that when the government was formed earlier this year it committed to not building new settlements but allowing “natural growth" in existing ones."In the next four years, we will act and we will argue and pass budgets and lower the cost of living and continue to lead the world in fighting coronavirus,” he said.

The European Union called on Israel to halt settlement construction and not to proceed with the announced tenders. Mohammad Shtayyeh, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, which has limited autonomy in parts of the occupied West Bank, on Sunday condemned Israel’s settlement plans and called on the U.S. and the international community to push back on them.

Israel set to OK 3,000 West Bank settler homes this weekTEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel is expected to move forward with thousands of new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank this week, a settlement watchdog group said Sunday. The plan for some 3,000 new settler units in the West Bank has already drawn calls for restraint from the U.S., which on Friday voiced “concern” over the expected approvals. Why are they allowed to keep pushing farther into the West Bank? This region will never be at peace.. One wonders where the international community is as more illegal settlements are approved...but it's Israel..even advocating for the human rights of Palestinians is regarded anti-Semitic
