BETHLEHEM (PIC)– Palestinian sources said the Israeli authorities began to build the largest synagogue in the West Bank on the foot of Daniel settlement built on Palestinian lands in Bethlehem in an area close to the south of occupied Jerusalem.
Sohail Khalilia director of settlement’s control unit at the Institute of Applied Research ARIJ in Bethlehem reported that the settlers have begun to build a synagogue in an outpost that will be transformed into a settlement to be added to Gush Etzion settlement complex
Khalilia said in a press statement on Thursday: “The Palestinians have become trapped from all sides in light of this settlement expansion and the implementation of the settlement schemes.”
He pointed out that the Jewish rabbis have called for the construction of the synagogues in the occupied West Bank in an attempt to impose a fait accompli on the ground and reinforce the Jewish presence in the region.
