Israeli settler leaders are seriously considering establishing 10 new settlement outposts, during US President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel, scheduled for late July, Israel Hayom newspaper reported.
According to the newspaper, the settler leaders intend to organize ten groups to establish these outposts in different areas of the West Bank, claiming to protest the current government’s lack of commitment to maintaining the outpost on Jabal Sabih, which the settlers call “Avitar.”
In late June of last year, the settlers reached an agreement with Israeli Security Minister Benny Gantz and Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked to maintain the outpost built on Jabal Subaih, located south of Nablus, on Palestinian land owned by Palestinians from villages of Beita, Watma, and Qabalan.
The establishment of the new settlement outpost in May last year led to popular resistance in these villages, during which the Israeli soldiers killed 7 Palestinians and injured more than a thousand Palestinian citizens, according to a report published by B’Tselem in early March of this year.
