The fundamentalist "Israeli" government of Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, reached agreement with residents of the "Ulpana" illegal settlement, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, stating that "Israel" will build 300 apartment units for Jewish settlers, in exchange for relocating five illegal homes.
According to "Israeli" Ynet News, Zalman Melamed, the Rabbi of Beit El illegal settlement, and representatives of the "Israeli" government, reached the deal on Tuesday.
The five illegal homes will be relocated to a location within the settlement boundaries, and "in return", Israel will be constructing 300 units on what it calls "state land".
Despite the fact that "Israel" will be building 300 new units for the settlers in the occupied West Bank, some settlers in Ulpana were complaining about what they called the "eviction" of the five homes, and said that the move "shames the government".
"Israel's" settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under
International Law, and also violate the Fourth Geneva Convention to which Israel is a signatory.
