Israeli Planning and Building Committee approved on Wednesday a project to build 2400 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank according to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
The paper reported that the committee proposed another plan for the construction of new industrial areas and a park near Or Yehuda settlement.
The UN Security Council adopted on 23rd December 2016 a resolution asking the Israeli government to immediately and completely halt its illegal settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem.
Israel’s refusal to stop the settlement construction accept a two-state solution on the 1967 borders and release long-serving Palestinian prisoners were the main reasons for the cessation of the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority in April 2014.
