European allies condemn Israel's plan to build more housing units in the West Bank

[Della]

"In a rare move, key European allies — France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom — joined the U.S. on Tuesday in condemning Israel's plans to build 10,000 more housing units in existing settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Israel's right-wing government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also set to legalize nine smaller Jewish outposts on land the Palestinians want for a future state."

I can see why. First of all territory in the West Bank is still highly disputed and secondly there are EXISTING settlements.....they'll have to "relocate" the people that are currently residing there and that almost certainly means by force.......this will only lead to an escalation in the dispute between Israel and Palestine.

Worse, Netanyahu wants to change the constitution to give more power to the government and less to the courts. Something dictators routinely do.

They will "relocate" them to a refugee camp in Syria or somewhere. Have you ever heard of Eretz Israel?
