As for critics, this action not only refers to violation of international resolutions, but also prevents any perspective of a fair and prolonged solution to the Israelo-Palestinian conflict.
The Israeli government and the colonial policy
Intense right -wing minister Pelchel Smotrich celebrated the approval of the project, which will be recognized by the Israeli government next week. The Minister justified the project as part of a vast strategy of Israeli “sovereignty” on the West Bank, which has been implemented from the creation of the current Benjamin Netanyahu government.
For many, another step is to integrate Israeli colonies on the West Bank, one of the biggest obstacles to recognize prolonged peace in the region. The Netanyahu government is increasingly adopting the right position, fearing that the international community will increase tensions and the possibility of the peace agreement will be increasingly distant.
The decision to advance with the colonial construction program in the E1 refers to an infiltration point in Israeli politics, which is still widely criticized at the international level, while the chances of conflict resolution are uncertain.
