Fascist Israel expands settlements

Ehud Barak approves settlement expansion in Palestinian lands

The Israeli Minister for military affairs Ehud Barak approved a plan to construct an additional 538 new housing units in the illegal Itamar settlement. An Israeli paper obtained information that Barak decided to go ahead with the expansion without any prior agreement from the Israeli Planning and Construction Committee. Barak had previously "legalized" 138 housing units in this area without construction permits, although under international law, settlements remain illegal in a country under occupation.
