flag Israel’s cabinet approved measures to expand West Bank settlements, sparking international backlash.

flag Israel’s security cabinet has approved sweeping measures to expand Israeli control over the West Bank, including lifting restrictions on Jewish Israelis purchasing Palestinian land, declassifying land records, and transferring planning and enforcement authority in areas like Hebron to Israeli control. flag The moves, aimed at accelerating settlement expansion and weakening Palestinian administrative authority, have drawn condemnation from Palestinian leaders, Jordan, and human rights groups, who say they undermine the two-state solution and violate international law. flag The changes coincide with increased settler violence and military raids, with critics calling them part of a broader de facto annexation effort. flag The measures require final approval from Israel’s top military commander in the region.
