Jerusalem: Benjamin Netanyahu’s incoming hard-line government put West Bank settlement expansion at the top of its list of priorities on Wednesday. It vowed to legalize dozens of illegally built outposts and annex the occupied territory as part of its coalition deal with its ultranational allies. The deal also included language endorsing discrimination against LGBTQ people on religious grounds, contentious judicial reforms, as well as generous stipends for ultra-Orthodox men who prefer to study instead of work.
