Israeli authorities will discuss the approval of the construction of 1,170 housing units in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, according to an Israeli anti-settlement group. Peace Now said Israel’s Higher Planning Council (HPC) is expected to approve the units across four illegal settlements – Gvaot, Itamar, Shaarei Tikva and Givat Zeev. “Of these, 756 units are planned for Gvaot, a settlement adjacent to the Palestinian village of Nahalin, where approximately 50 families currently reside,” the group said.
