The demolition of Khan al-Ahmar is more than just a war crime

Settlers illegally expand West Bank race track in IDF firing zone
Since +972 Magazine visited the site earlier this year, the track has been paved — despite an Israeli army order to stop construction.

Major Israeli construction company pulls out of settlement industry
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday morning that Africa Israel Investments, an international holding and investment company based in Israel, will no longer build homes in the West Bank or East Jerusalem.

How 24,000 new settlement homes allowed Netanyahu to save face
Israel’s nearly unprecedented announcement and subsequent ‘review’ of plans for 24,000 new settlement units was actually a win-win situation – for everyone but the Palestinians, of course.
