With their completion, Jewish settlement in the northern Etzion bloc will reach the edges of Bethlehem’s southernmost suburbs.
CAIRO – In a clear punishment for the Palestinian people following moves at the UN, Israel has approved the construction of 40 homes and a farm in two new settler enclaves near the southern West Bank town of Bethlehem, as its hawkish Prime Minister declared his support for a new law to ban loudspeakers at mosques.
“Israel’s military establishment has approved the establishment of a new, permanent neighborhood and a farm near the West Bank settlement of Efrat,” Haaretz daily reported on Monday, December 12.
“The projects will go beyond the community’s current built-up area, constituting an effective expansion of the Etzion bloc of settlements toward the north and northeast,” it added.
