occupied east jerusalem alone for legal settlements. one of which will be in on 2 of us, a neighborhood that is south of occupied east jerusalem, that will be around $650.00 housing units. now what this n g o is saying that this government in is world the most right wing in its history is essentially trying to fast track these a legal settlement plans during the war while everyone is distracted by the ongoing conflict. these types of plans can take sometimes up to 10 years from the time the plan is conceived when construction actually begins. but the government can get involved and fast track it if it feels there's a political need to. and that seems to be what's going on according to this. and you know, of course, the legal settlements are an incredibly sensitive topic. they are illegal under international law and the right wing government in israel since it came into power has been advocating for more legal settlements. any occupied westbank and occupied east jerusalem, and once the war is over there, even advocating for settlements in the gaza strip. and us, i've heard that across all of that for us from occupied histories and think s

housing units already approved $650.00 of which would be in the neighborhood in the south of occupied east jerusalem. now something else to send to you was saying that under the guise of this war, while everyone is distracted by the conflict in the war on gaza, israel's right wing government, the most driveway in its history, is using this to continuously push through these plans and expedite illegal settlement building. this is a process that can usually take up to 10 years because of how much bureaucracy is involved. but this is a government that have been supporting legal settlement since they came into power . some of the ministers within the government live in the legal settlements themselves. so is it is unprecedented, but not exactly surprising that this is all happening at the same time. yeah, i'm president. suppose you say not surprising a to have the south regional can bodies recently. many thanks. i the right still it has here and i'll just say i've voted as in finland or choosing the next president during the 1st election. i, since joining nato and in the all the dragon chime is linked a
