Peace Now: 20,000 settler homes started in decade of Netanyahu rule
Also from Peace Now: the NGO says Israel began construction on nearly 20,000 settler homes in the West Bank during the past decade of Benjamin Netanyahu’s premiership.
It says that construction of 19,346 settler homes had started between 2009 — the year that Netanyahu became prime minister for a second time — and the end of 2018.
It did not provide figures on how many of the homes were completed.
“The Israeli government is digging the country a pit to fall in,” says a Peace Now statement accompanying the report.
