Jewish settlers with the support of the Israeli army have set up seven new illegal outposts in the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem in less than 48 hours.
On Thursday the settlers established a new settlement outpost on private Palestinian land near the village of the Arab al-Ka’abneh in Occupied Jerusalem
Settlers with the support of the Israeli army have also set up a new illegal outpost on private Palestinian land near the village of Lubban ash-Sharqiya on the highway between Ramallah and Nablus.
Another group of settlers also established a new outpost in the village of Umm Safa northwest of Ramallah.
The latest move comes after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the building of 1000 new homes in the illegal settlement of Eli.
Earlier this week United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Israel to immediately “cease all settlement activities” in occupied Palestinian territory describing Israel’s plans to advance the building of Israeli settlements as driving “tensions and violence” and being a major obstacle to lasting peace.
