Nazareth, 19 Jumadil Awwal 1438/17 February 2017 (MINA) – Two Israeli ministers revealed on Friday a plan to build a new illegal settlement at the expense of Palestinian lands in West Bank with the aim of hosting Israeli settlers evacuated recently from Amona outpost.

Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked affirmed her government’s commitment to build a new settlement for Amona’s settlers.

“We are committed to our pledge,” she said, the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported.
For his part, Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett revealed that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the establishment of the new settlement.

“I’m totally sure that Netanyahu will abide by his promise,” Bennett said.

The two ministers’ statement came just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump had asked Netanyahu to restrain settlement construction during his visit to Washington.

In early February, Israeli forces began an operation to evacuate settlers from Amona settlement illegally built in West Bank after Israel’s Supreme Court had set Feb. 8 as the final date for it to be evacuated.

The court ruled in 2014 that Amona was built on private Palestinian land and must be dismantled.(T/R04/RS05)
