Israel’s security cabinet approved the establishment of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move the country’s far-right finance minister said on Sunday, January 21, was aimed at preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state. The decision brings the total number of settlements approved over the past three years to 69, according to a statement from the office of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
The latest approvals come days after the United Nations said the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank – all of which are considered illegal under international law – had reached its highest level since at least 2017.
“The proposal by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Defence Minister Israel Katz to declare and formalise 19 new settlements in Judea and Samaria has been approved by the cabinet,” the statement said, without specifying when the decision was taken. Smotrich is a vocal proponent of settlement expansion and a settler himself.
“On the ground, we are blocking the establishment of a Palestinian terror state,” he said in the statement. “We will continue to develop, build, and settle the land of our ancestral heritage, with faith in the justice of our path.”

So it has nothing to do with terrorism and khamas
Never was
And fuck anyone else’s ancestral heritage I guess.
It never did. There is credible evidence though Netanyahu helped fund Hamas, prop them up, was aware of the planned October 7 attacks, and that Israel intentionally targeted their own citizens on October 7 (Hannibal Directive). These have been reported on by Israel’s own media outlets. There is also now substantial evidence of Epstein’s connections to Israeli intelligence, to play part in a blackmail operation over several powerful politicians & elites. I hate to say it, but it would appear that October 7 wasn’t an unsuspected attack by Hamas, but a carefully thought out plan by Zionist extremists. Seeing how Trump pardoned Aviem Sella & allowing Jonathan Pollard to return to Israel with a hero’s welcome, it is clear why Netanyahu—who has an active arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court—gets to keep coming to the US & tell our leaders what to do, and have our soldiers fight on their behalf.
At the end of the day anybody knows it’s about land theft yet the west still spew bullshit about israel right to defend itself anf blaming khamas for lack of solution
I wouldn’t go that far. I expect it was more allowed to happen and got out of hand, ended up worse than they expected.
But I don’t think they planned or participated in the attack.
They are colonies not settlments
“the land of our ancestral heritage dating all the way back to 1948”
