HEBRON, August 16, 2011 (WAFA) – Hundreds of Israeli settlers Tuesday participated in a demonstration in Hebron, demanding to confiscate more Palestinian land in order to expand settlements in the West Bank, said Palestinian activist.
Issa Amro, member of Youth Against Settlements organization, said that the Council of Settlement in Hebron organized the protest, in which hundreds of settlers from various settlements called on the Israeli government to confiscate land and expand settlements to encourage Israelis to live in the West Bank.
The protesters particularly called to expand Beit Romano, a settlement located in the old city in Hebron, added Amro.
This protest comes in line with calls by right-wing Israeli parliamentarians and politicians to solve the current high rent and housing crisis in Israel by building and expanding settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.WAFA
