Israel to Resume Building Illegal Settlements in Occupied West Bank
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel announced it will resume settlement building in the occupied West
Bank after an almost year-long break. The settlements are considered
illegal under international law and routinely dispossess Palestinians of
their homes and land. Some 2,000 new units for Jewish settlers are
expected to be approved next week, as well as 1,000 units for
Palestinians living under Israeli military control.
