The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has approved six plans to expand a group of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
In a statement on Saturday the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said that the IOA approved the building of 543 housing units for Jewish settlers in different West Bank settlements.
The Commission also pointed to another Israeli plan to expand the illegal settlement of Vered Yericho which was built on Palestinian lands annexed from the towns of Aqabat Jabr and Nabi Musa in Jericho.
