The new project with 2100 housing units will be implemented in Ariel, the Palestinian WAFA news agency reported on Saturday.
The expansion project is set to be carried out in two phases and the new units will be built in the northern West Bank governorates of Qalqiliya and Tulkarem.
The first phase includes the building of 700 housing units and the second one includes the building of 1400.
The settlement of Ariel is considered among the largest Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The international community regards all the Israeli settlements across the West Bank as illegal under international law.
Nearly 500,000 Israelis live in more than 100 settlement units built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
