Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said he gave final approval for 764 housing units to be built in three illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The far-right politician, who acts as de-facto governor of the West Bank and has vowed to never allow formation of a Palestinian state, said he will “continue the revolution”. He said since he came to power in late 2022, some 51,370 housing units have been approved in the West Bank to curtail future Palestinian statehood.
