News from Peace Now's (Israel) Settlement Watch:
On Wednesday, September 28th, two plans were promoted by the Civil Administration's Higher Planning Committee
(HPC): one plan for a new settlement east of Shilo (approved for depositing), most likely meant for the settlers of the illegal outpost o Amona, and another
for a new industrial zone west of Ramallah (approved for validation). see details below.
Peace Now: "While world leaders are gathering to commemorate Shimon Peres and his path to peace, the Israeli
government is creating another obstacle for the two state solution by establishing a new settlement in the heart of
the West Bank. The government's decision to reward settlers who stole private Palestinian lands will make the rest
of Israel's law-abiding citizens pay a heavy political price."
