The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said Israeli occupation authorities released five settlement tenders across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between October 1 and 19. The tenders cover construction of 1,629 housing units, Shehab Wire reported.
The bidding announcements represent a continued push by Israel to expand Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, where the international community considers such construction illegal under international law.
