Israel has acknowledged it has ramped up settlement construction in the occupied West bank. The regime’s Central Bureau of Statistics says Tel Aviv kicked off building 2,758 housing units between April 2016 and March 2017. This shows a 70% rise, sounding the alarm for more escalation of the Palestinian crisis.
