JERUSALEM, March 22 — Israel’s settler movement celebrated Tuesday after parliament annulled part of a law banning them from living in areas of the occupied West Bank the government evacuated in 2005.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power in December at the helm of one of the most right-wing administrations in the country’s history.Israel distinguishes between wildcat outposts, built without its permission, and state-approved settlements which are home to an estimated 475,000 Israelis.
Israel’s far-right settler lobby has made Homesh, which was home to 70 families in 2005, a symbol of their cause. Patel, the State Department spokesman, called Smotrich’s denial of the Palestinians’ existence “inaccurate” and also “dangerous”. But Israeli anti-settlement movement Peace Now said the parliamentary decision would spark the construction of more West Bank outposts.
