The Zionist regime of Israel has approved the development of 164 new housing units in Neve Daniel settlement to the west of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Iran PressMiddle East: According to Quds Press, Israel’s Settlement Council in the occupied West Bank has announced the project, saying the project is part of the construction of a new settlers’ compound inside the illegal settlement at the expense of land belonging to the Palestinians in Al Khader and Nahalin neighborhoods.

It is part of Israel’s expansion of "Greater Jerusalem", which bites deep into occupied Palestinian territory.

Exploiting the situation under cover of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Jewish settlers have allocated swathes of Palestinians' land for settlement projects. All of this is being done under the protection of the Israeli occupation army.
