FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The latest announcements for adding 300 [residential] units in Beit El, [which is] deep inside the West Bank, are deeply troubling,” The UN’s Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process said on Thursday.
Serry reiterated that it is “the international community’s view that all settlement construction whether on private Palestinian land or elsewhere in occupied Palestinian territory is contrary to international law.”
Netanyahu ordered the construction of 300 new residential units on Wednesday after the Israeli parliament rejected a bill to legalize settlement outposts.
All settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are considered illegal under international law. The outposts are also illegal under Israeli law.
Last year, an Israeli Supreme Court ruled that five buildings which are home to 30 families at Ulpana were built entirely on private Palestinian land and must be demolished.
Netanyahu ordered the transfer of the buildings at Ulpana to a nearby former army base in another part of Beit El and the construction next to them of 300 new housing units to placate settlers.
“Beit El will be expanded, the 30 families will remain in Beit El, and 300 new families will join them,” he said.
Israel continues its settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories despite condemnation from the international community.
