Israel has approved construction of 40 homes and a farm in two new
settler enclaves near the southern West Bank town of Bethlehem, Haaretz
daily reported on Monday.
"Israel's military establishment has approved the establishment of a
new, permanent neighbourhood and a farm near the West Bank settlement of
Efrat," the paper said.
"The projects will go beyond the community's current built-up area,
constituting an effective expansion of the Etzion bloc of settlements
toward the north and northeast," it added.
"With their completion, Jewish settlement in the northern Etzion bloc will reach the edges of Bethlehem's southernmost suburbs."
