Israeli government accused of increasing settlement activities

RAMALLAH, 15 August 2022, (TON): Senior Palestinian official sources have accused the Israeli government of speeding up settlement activities in the West Bank to harvest the votes of right-wing parties in the lead-up to Israeli parliamentary elections on Nov. 1.

They said “Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s caretaker government has stepped up plans to colonize Palestinian land and build hundreds of other settlement units.”

Ghassan Daglas, director of settlement affairs in the northern West Bank affiliated with the Palestinian Presidency Office, told media “it is clear that Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid believes that his access to power and the success of his party in the upcoming elections comes at the expense of confiscating Palestinian land and blood.”

“From a war on Gaza to murder in Nablus to the confiscation of Palestinian lands and the approval of the establishment of settlements we do not know what his next steps will be in this direction.”
