Israel approves the construction of 2,342 settler homes in the West Bank, according to settlement watchdog Peace Now.

It says the decision was made on October 10 and that 59 percent of the new homes will be erected in “settlements that Israel likely may evacuate under a peace agreement” with the Palestinians.

This is yet another dangerous step for both Israel and the Palestinians, led by a transitional prime minister whom the public did not trust in his policies. The next government must put a freeze on the development of settlements. https://t.co/UqtgZj2v2w
