US Congressmen Express Support for Israel’s Right to Sovereignty in Judea & Samaria
- On May 21, 2025, Israel's Security Cabinet gave approval for the creation of 22 additional settlements in Judea and Samaria, which includes plans to rebuild Homesh and Sa-Nur.
- The decision came after a proposal initiated by Israel’s Defense Minister and the Finance Minister to restart land registration processes in Area C, aiming to oppose unauthorized Palestinian actions in the region.
- Among the approved settlements, some are previously established outposts that were not authorized under Israeli regulations, while additional ones will be built from scratch to strengthen the Jewish foothold near Highway 443, the Jordan Valley, and other strategic locations.
- Finance Minister Smotrich described the decision as a landmark move for settlement expansion, announcing 22 new communities that strengthen the State of Israel’s eastern frontier, while a majority of nearly 70% of Israelis back extending sovereignty over the region.
- The approval drew Palestinian condemnation as a dangerous escalation risking violence, while Israel warned European states that unilateral Palestinian moves could trigger Israeli sovereignty extensions or annexation in the West Bank.
