PLO says Israel seeks to build 2,339 illegal settlement units in West Bank
The report said 1,352 of the units will be constructed in Qalqilya, 430 units in northeast Ramallah and northwest of the occupied East Jerusalem, 407 units in Bethlehem, and 150 units in the west of Ramallah.
The plan also includes the establishment of the 'Samaria National Park' in the Palestinian town of Sebastia, north of Nablus.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in July 2024 that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law.
