Netanyahu’s new government to tackle authorizing illegal settler construction

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is expected to formulate within the next three months a plan to legalize unauthorized West Bank settler construction.
Netanyahu is expected to tackle the issue at the request of the Bayit Yehudi Party, which was the last of the Likud’s four coalition partners to finalize a deal to enter the government.

The coalition deal between Bayit Yehudi and the Likud itself has not been published. But based on unofficial copies of the document, including portions published by Army Radio, Bayit Yehudi made the creation of such a plan one of its coalition demands.
Within a month a professional team is to be created on the issue, chaired by the cabinet secretary. It is to include a professional representative from the Defense, Agriculture, and Justice ministries.

According to section 84 of the coalition deal, this team will formulate a plan to authorize buildings and neighborhoods in Judea and Samaria that were built with the involvement of the authorities.
The team has 60 days in which to present its conclusion and the government is then expected to implement them.
Section 84 of the deal does not use the word outpost, but it is assumed that this team would tackle the issue of these unauthorized communities along with unauthorized building in existing settlements.

During the last government, the Bayit Yehudi Party was a strong advocate of authorizing illegal homes in West Bank settlements, as well as unauthorized outposts, some of which are considered neighborhoods of existing outposts.
In many cases these were homes built with initial nods of approval from government ministries, but for whom final permits were never approved.

Why not just call the remaining Palestinian lands reservations and be done with it?

The Palestinians have already had their Trail of Tears with their Nakba, but if the USA does nothing to stop this then we are complicit and just as guilty as the apartheid fascists now in control of Israel.

Very small wonder there was such affinity between Israel and the Afrikaaners.

legalize all unauthorized Jewish construction, raze all unauthorized Palestinian construction, and then call it the “Rule of law”.
