Israel Plans New Illegal Settlements in Gaza, West Bank

Saturday, July 18, 2026

Israel's defence and finance ministers announced plans for three illegal settlements in Gaza and more than $400m (300m) in funding to expand construction in the occupied West Bank, as Israel's military commander for the region celebrated violent outposts as his "security partners".

Settler violence is state violence," the UN human rights office for Palestine said in a new report published this week that detailed how Israel used settlers to lead annexation efforts, while systematic impunity for perpetrators ensured violence could grow unchecked.

From the article::

Israel now controls 65% of Gaza ... .This is far beyond the 53% agreed under the ceasefire brokered last year by the US president, Donald Trump.

About 2 million Palestinians who survived Israel's war of annihilation are crowded into the remaining third of Gaza's territory.

Israel's military has recognised that a database of Gaza's war dead compiled by Palestinian health authorities is broadly accurate. It contains more than 73,000 people listed by name, with their Israeli-issued ID number.

More than 21,000 were children; more than 10,000 were women under 60 years old, and more than 5,000 were elderly people. Asked whether Yadai's data counted women, children and elderly people as "terrorists", the Israeli military declined to comment directly.

UN report: Israeli Settlers are not good human beings

Nota Bene:

In addition to increased attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, LGBTQ Jews are being targted in Israel.

Now a report states that one in four Israelis are on hard drugs because of PTSD and violence they have perpetrated on defenseless Palestinians.

Moreover, there is an influx of illegal weapons into Israel, most likely run by the little-discussed Israeli mob.

Weapons smuggled in from Jordan probably originated in northern Kurdistan (Iraq).
