Israel releases blueprint for new West Bank settlement

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Israel has published plans for a proposed settlement in the occupied West Bank, framing it as a response to growing global recognition of Palestinian statehood.

“No anti-Israel or anti-Zionist decision will stop the development of the settlement,” said Smotrich, who heads a pro-settler party and himself lives in an Israeli settlement. “We will continue to fight against the dangerous idea of a Palestinian state. This is the mission of my life.”

Smotrich said the new 60-hectare (150-acre) settlement, called Nachal Heletz, will form part of the Gush Etzion settlement cluster and connect the region with nearby Jerusalem.

In June, Israel announced it was going to legalise five outposts in the West Bank, seize huge swaths of Palestinian land and establish three new settlements, which are illegal under international law.
