Israeli occupation announces a new settlement plan east of Bethlehem

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation authorities announced a new settlement plan to seize hundreds of dunums of Palestinian lands east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

The director of the Office of the Resistance of the Wall and Settlement Commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Breijieh, told Wafa News Agency that, the new plan aims to seize hundreds of dunums to expand a settlement built on Palestinian lands in Kisan village, east of Bethlehem.

Within the framework of its Judaization and aggressive plans to displace Palestinians, the occupation escalates settlement operations in the occupied West Bank, ignoring international resolutions that affirm the illegality of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and demand their immediate halt.

 

Settlers bulldoze Palestinian lands east of Bethlehem

On the other hand, the Israeli settlers stormed Palestinian lands in Kisan village, east of Bethlehem in the West Bank, under the protection of the occupation forces, and bulldozed large areas of them.

The deputy head of Kisan Village Council, Ahmed Ghazal, told WAFA News Agency that, the Israeli settlers bulldozed Palestinian lands northwest of the village, with the aim of building a settlement road to connect settlements established in the area.
