Israel allocates $434 million for 34 new West Bank settlements
Israel's security cabinet approved a $434 million budget for 34 new West Bank settlements, announced by right-wing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The move has drawn criticism as U.N. bodies, Palestinians, and most countries view the settlements as illegal under international conventions and a barrier to peace.
