Israel to endorse 2,000 unauthorized settler homes in occupied West Bank
Tehran (KNA) - Israeli officials are going to authorize thousands of the settler homes built illegally in the occupied West Bank, as the Tel Aviv regime continues its land expropriation and settlement expansion policies in the occupied Palestinian territories irrespective of the international outcry.
The English-language Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported on Sunday that District Court Judge Carmi Mossek has accepted a legal theory produced by the regime, which would pave the way for the legalization of settlement homes built on privately owned Palestinian land.
The report added that the move would provide judicial grounds for the legalization of up to 2,000 homes in the northern sector of the West Bank, including those erected in Alei Zahav settlement.
About 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds.
The UN Security Council has condemned Israel's settlement activities in the occupied territories in several resolutions.
