The Israeli occupation government has approved a plan to build 270 housing units in Bethlehem as part of a project to expand the illegal settlements of Neve Daniel and Kfar Eldad.
According to this plan 170 of these units will be built on annexed land near Neve Daniel in al-Khader town and 100 others will be built near Kfar Eldad.
Israel has escalated the expansion of settlements and outposts recently throughout the West Bank and Jerusalem with no regard for any international condemnation.
