The finance committee of Israel's Knesset approved the allocation of hundreds of millions of shekels for settlements, Shehab Wire reported. The vote represents the latest in a series of budgetary decisions favoring settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territories.
Settlement funding has remained a priority for Israel's current government. The committee's approval provides financial backing for construction and infrastructure projects across dozens of settlements in the West Bank. The shekels allocated will support both existing communities and new expansion efforts in areas claimed by both Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
