‘Israel plans to isolate Palestinians’

“The Israelis are trying to… turn the Palestinians into a minority,” said Khalil Shaheen, a political analyst in the West Bank, in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.

Shaheen made the comments a day after Palestinian media reported on July 14 that the Tel Aviv regime had decided to build 100 new units in the illegal settlement of Modi’in Illit and another 130 units in the illegal settlement of Jabal Abu Ghuneim in the West Bank.

“All these steps and plans to expand settlement construction are connected to each other,” Shaheen added.

On June 6, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the construction of 300 units in the illegal settlement of Beit El in the West Bank.

The international community regards all the Israeli settlements across the West Bank as illegal under international law.

More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
