A group of Jewish settlers established a new settlement outpost and a new military barracks on Palestinian private lands east of Farata village east of Qalqilya on Friday morning.
Local sources reported that the settlers stormed the eastern area of the village and set up tents supported by electricity generators and tin sheets.
The settlers aim to expand the illegal Havat Gilad settlement the sources added.
The UN Security Council has started working on a resolution that would condemn Israeli settlements.
The resolution still in draft form “reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967 including East Jerusalem has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law”.
It also “condemns all attempts at annexation including decisions and measures by Israel regarding settlements including settlement outposts” and calls for their immediate reversal.
The text by the Security Council “reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory including East Jerusalem and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard”.
