Israel has approved plans for the construction of more than 500 homes in the southern West Bank in the first step towards creating a new settlement city, a local settler council said Thursday.
“After years, we are happy to announce that the government of Israel has decided to build a city in Gush Etzion,” David Perel, head of the Gush Eztion regional council, told AFP, saying the defence ministry had approved plans for 523 homes in Gevaot.
Perel said the council had presented plans for a city of at least 6,000 homes in the year 2000, but until now, they had never been approved.
“This is a huge achievement,” he said.
