On the 24th of October 2021, the Israeli housing and construction ministry of the right-wing Naftali Bennett’s government, launched tenders for 1,355 settlement units in a number of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Most of the targeted settlements are located mainly in the area that has been cut-off by the construction of the wall along the western terrains of the occupied West Bank, and which has become known to Palestinians since then by “the western segregation zone”, the area between the 1949 Armistice (Green Line) and the route of the wall.
