Bethlehem - Saba:
The Zionist enemy authorities began, on Sunday, paving a settlement road in the lands of the village of Al-Jab'a, southeast of Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Information Center quoted the head of the Al-Jab'a village council, Diab Masha'la, as saying: The enemy bulldozers began paving a settlement road from the western side of the village, reaching the village of Wadi Fukin, and ending in the village of Husan, according to the occupation plan, along 5 km.
Masha'la added: This arbitrary measure will lead to the devouring of hundreds of agricultural dunams, and depriving farmers of access to their lands located west of the settlement road that has begun to be paved.
The so-called Zionist Minister of "Construction and Housing", Yitzhak Goldktoev, called for attracting a million Jews; to settle in the occupied West Bank.
The Zionist website "Bahdrei Haredim", which specializes in news of religious Jews (Haredim), quoted Goldktov as calling on the head of the Zionist entity's government, Benjamin Netanyahu, to exploit the current situation to expand settlement construction in the West Bank.
According to the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the number of settlers in the West Bank reached about 770,420 settlers at the end of 2024, distributed over 180 settlements and 256 settlement outposts.
