Israel’s Security Cabinet has been discussing a new settlement plan put forward by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “Area C” in the occupied West Bank.
Haaretz newspaper on Tuesday reported that Netanyahu’s plan suggests the construction of 6000 housing units in Israeli settlements.
The discussion of Netanyahu’s proposal comes a few days ahead of a scheduled visit by Jared Kushner the US president’s senior advisor to Israel.
Kushner is also responsible for the implementation of the so-called “Deal of the Century” which the US claims is aimed at settling the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
