Israel tells US it plans to announce thousands of settlement homes later this month
Need somewhere to house all those fleeing Ukrainians... [IsraelTimes] Israel has informed the US that it plans to announce "thousands" of new settlement homes later this month, an Israeli official says.The official, confirming a report first published by the Walla news site, tells The Times of Israel that it was not clear whether the settlement plans would all be approved in back-to-back meetings of the Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee, as is traditionally the case, or whether the meetings would be spread out over several weeks. According to Walla, the Biden administration, which is opposed to all settlement construction, is pushing Israel to hold off on the announcement or scale it back. Another reason for the US State Department funded Movement for Quality Government (MQG) to come out and protest — now that interest in protesting the judicial overhaul is fading, a new cause i needed to trigger the thoughtless masses. The Israeli plans come after the US last week pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay plans to advance the highly controversial E1 settlement project.
