Israel to establish a new illegal settlement in Salfit
Israeli authorities on Thursday endorsed a plan to build a new illegal settlement on Palestinian-owned lands in the village of Deir Istiya, in the governorate of Salfit.
The Applied Research Institute (ARIJ) reported in a statement that the total region of the land which will be seized for the implementation of the settlement plan gets 259 dunums.
ARIJ said that the plan aims to construct 381 new housing units in the new settlement, in addition to structures, open areas, and streets to connect it to surrounding regions.
Arij said that the new settlement is located between the settlements of Revava and Kiryat Netafim, which warns of Israeli authorities’ intention to construct a settlement complex containing the three settlements, in addition to the Barkan settlement.
