(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Occupied Jerusalem December 29 (QNA) - Israeli settler watchdog Peace Now warned in a new report that the Israeli Housing Ministry is seeking a massive series of new settlement expansions cutting across all sections of the occupied West Bank and totaling 55548 new settlement units.
In a report based on government data obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request Peace Now said the housing ministry was seeking to build 55548 units in the occupied West Bank including two new settlements.
Over 8300 settlement units would be in E1 area and would therefore divide the remaining Palestinian parts of the occupied West Bank according to Palestinian Information Center website.
The possibility of building in the E1 has caused considerable concern that it would effectively prevent a contiguous Palestinian state.
Over the past decade the occupation government built a police station and infrastructure for 1500 settlement units in the area without construction licenses. (QNA)
