Israel’s Ministry of Construction and Housing has announced tenders for 356 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank, particularly in the Geva Binyamin settlement near Ramallah, according to the anti-settlement group Peace Now. This year has seen a record 5,667 housing unit tenders, significantly higher than previous years, potentially adding 25,000 settlers. Peace Now criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government for undermining peace prospects, while the UN and International Court of Justice deem these settlements illegal. Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump reassured that Israel would not annex the West Bank, despite legislative efforts to do so.
