The Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission has issued a warning regarding Israeli plans to construct 1,024 new settlement units on over 1,069 dunams (1,264.2 acres) of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. The commission stated that Israel's Higher Planning Council has discussed nine settlement plans since early July, with 455 units approved and 569 deposited for further procedures. These projects are part of "a systematic policy" to strengthen settlement blocs and are described as a means of consolidating Israel's "de facto annexation" of occupied Palestinian land. The UN has consistently affirmed that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law and undermine the prospects for a two-state solution.
