New Israeli Settlements in West Bank
The Israeli government announced plans to build 100 new homes on settlements in the occupied West Bank, inviting citizens to move in despite a freeze on settlement growth outlined in the 2003 "road map for peace." Israel has argued that only new settlements are forbidden under the agreement, not increased population on existing settlement land.
