Netanyahu Vows to Build New Settlement

WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will fulfill his promise to build a new settlement in the occupied West Bank for the first time in more than 20 years.
Netanyahu made the announcement hours before meeting with Jason Greenblatt, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East.
The continued expansion of illegal settlements by the Zionist regime is one of the major obstacles to the establishment of "peace” in the Middle East.
Over half a million Zionists live in over 230 settlements built illegally since the 1967 occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The regime’s settlement expansion defies the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 adopted in December 2016 that condemned the settlements as a "flagrant violation of international law. The former U.S. government declined to veto the resolution, infuriating Zionist officials.
