Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Israel to ramp up settlement expansion in occupied West Bank” – below is their description.
Israel’s Supreme Planning council is meeting to discuss further expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Nearly 6,000 housing units are likely to be approved and three illegal outposts are being formalized under Israeli law.
It is the first time such planning has been deliberated since the far-right finance minister – and settler activist – Bezalel Smotrich, was put in charge of settlement policy.
Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett reports from the occupied West Bank.
