Occupation Government Breaks Records by Okaying 14,000 Settlements during Talks
The Zionist entity had approved plans for nearly 14,000 new illegal settlements undermining the already failed nine months of so-called peace talks with the Palestinians, according to Al- Manar News.
Figures quoted by an Israeli settlement watchdog Tuesday showed that during the talks which had formally ended, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Netanyahu’s government” approved at least 13,851 new housing through the advancement of plans and the publication of tenders.
“This is an unprecedented number representing an average of 50 housing units per day or 1,540 per month,” Peace Now said. “Netanyahu broke construction records during the nine-month peace talks,” Peace Now head Yariv Oppenheimer told AFP.
