Revealed: Cabinet Approved 34 New Settlements in Judea and Samaria
Details of a decision made months ago come to light
According to the report, Israel's security cabinet approved in March a decision to establish 34 new settlements across Samaria, Binyamin, Mount Hebron, the Jordan Valley, Gush Etzion, and the Dead Sea region. The decision was kept confidential for months before being disclosed now. With this approval, the total number of settlements authorized during the current term reaches 103. The publication does not yet include full details on the exact locations or implementation timelines. This is a principled cabinet-level decision that will still require further planning and approval stages by the Civil Administration.
What this means for land buyers
A decision of this kind marks an early stage in a lengthy process that includes planning approvals, land declarations, and zoning plans, before any plots can actually be marketed. For those considering land purchases in these areas, it signals a possible direction of expansion, though without planning certainty or a binding timeline yet.
