The National Bureau for Defending Land and Resisting Settlements documented in its weekly report the Israeli occupation government’s approval of the construction of more than 600 new settlement units in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and 615 others in the largest settlement in Jerusalem, “Pisgat Ze’ev.”

The report showed a new expansion of the annexation and Judaization of Jerusalem, its separation from its Palestinian surroundings, and its connection to the depth of the occupation, through the approval of the so-called “Israeli Local Planning and Building Committee” in the city, of the deposit of two plans to establish 1,700 new settlement units east of the “Ramot” settlement.

The report indicated that the occupation government’s decisions did not stop at allocating these huge allocations in the state budget to serve and develop the settlements and necessary infrastructure, but rather went beyond that to approve a number of settlement projects and plans.

It is noteworthy that 726,427 settlers are distributed over 176 settlements and 186 settlement outposts, including 86 agricultural pastoral outposts, in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
