The Civil Administration is set to debate controversial plans to authorize 863 homes in the West Bank’s Area C amid calls from the Israeli Right to cancel the hearing.
The move is perceived to be a nod to the Biden administration in an attempt to modify any angry response to Wednesday’s scheduled Civil Administration hearing on the advancement of plans for 2,223 settle homes.
The right-wing NGO Ad Kan called on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz as well as on Knesset members and cabinet ministers to cancel the meeting.
It warned that passage of the plans included authorizations for 863 homes in portions of Area C near the Palestinian cities of Bethlehem and Jenin.
Ad Kan warned that the approvals would have an “irreversible impact” on Palestinian control of Area C, which it, along with most of the Israeli Right and Bennett believe should be part of Israel’s final borders.
It urged Bennett, to “stop the Palestinian takeover of Area C.”
At a press conference in front of Bennett’s office on Sunday, Gush Etzion Regional Council head Shlomo Neeman warned that new formula existed for construction in the West Bank’s Area C by which one Palestinian home would be authorized for every two settler homes.
