Israel’s New Settlement Plan May Displace 7,000 Palestinians

Israel has approved a plan to build nearly 7,000 settler homes near Ma’ale Adumim, likely displacing 7,000 Palestinians in the West Bank. The project would cut off areas between Ramallah and Bethlehem, affecting 22 Bedouin communities. The UN says such settlements are illegal and could harm hopes for a two-state solution.
