Israel promises not to approve additional West Bank outposts

Associated Press  

JERUSALEM — Israel has told the Biden administration it will rein in the approval of new West Bank settlement outposts, the prime minister’s office said Monday, a day after a potential diplomatic crisis was averted at the United Nations over Israeli-Palestinian tensions. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not greenlight any new wildcat settlements in the West Bank beyond nine such outposts built without authorization that it approved retroactively earlier this month. “Israel notified the U.S. that in the coming months it will not authorize new settlements beyond the nine that have already been approved,” Netanyahu’s office said. Netanyahu’s office also said it would continue to demolish illegally built Palestinian homes in the 60% of the West Bank that is under full Israeli control.
