"Israel" to Approve New 538 WB Outposts

Local Editor

The "Israeli" Haaretz daily revealed Monday that War Minister, Ehud Barak, has agreed on a plan to build 538 new settling outposts in "Itamar" settlement southeast of Nablus.

This comes as the daily highlighted that "there is no plan in effect for the settlement to expand it to five times its size."

In parallel, Haaretz obtained documents that confirm that the construction of the settlement, which was founded in 1984 on Palestinian land, is illegal according to the "Israeli" law, which means that no legal building permits can be issued."

However, the so-called "Council of Jewish Communities of Judea and Samaria" has approved on the construction of new outposts.
According to the documents obtained, a meeting took place on September 24 in Barak's office to discuss the new plan for "Itamar". It was decided to retroactively approve 137 settling units that are already built without permits, and to build an additional 538 ones.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called "Israeli" Planning and Construction Committee will be discussing the new plan this week.
