replaced by settlers, east of the settlement of Tekoa, in an undated image
(Courtesy Peace Now)
Seven illegal Israeli settlement outposts have been established in recent months
inside Area B of the West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority is supposed to
have civilian control, the Peace Now organization reported Sunday.
According to the anti-settlements monitoring group, five of the seven outposts
are located in a large tract of land known as the “Agreed-Upon-Reserve” east and
southeast of Bethlehem. While the land is located inside Area B, the Palestinian
Authority is prohibited from construction there.
“Settlers have paved roads, built observation posts, and increased their
presence in the Agreed-Upon-Reserve,” Peace Now alleged. It added that there had
already been “visible consequences” as a result of the outposts, as in some
instances, Palestinians who had been living on the land fled in fear of the
settlers, and their homes were promptly taken over by the settlers.
Of the two other outposts, one is located east of the Ofra settlement in the
central West Bank on what Peace Now said is land belonging to the Palestinian
village of Ein Yabrud. The other is located further north on land belonging to
the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya, close to the Shiloh settlement and south
of the illegal outpost of Adei Ad.
While all seven of the outposts are considered illegal under Israeli law, only
the one established on the land belonging to Turmus Ayya, dubbed Or Nachman, was
evacuated by the Civil Administration Department of the Defense Ministry. It was
promptly rebuilt and has not been evacuated again since. The settlers also
launched a crowdfunding campaign recently to build a road connecting it to
nearby settlements, the report found. As of Sunday, the campaign had raised more
than NIS 33,000 ($9,000).

Across the outposts, at least one is only inhabited by a single person; another
is home to one family, and a third is occupied only by a group of young settler
activists.
“After seizing control of Area C and systematically displacing Palestinians
through house demolitions and settler violence, settlers have now set their
sights on Area B,” Peace Now said upon publishing its new report.
“The Israeli government’s annexation plans are not limited to Area C. By
enabling settlers to establish outposts deep in Area B, the government blatantly
violates another critical element of the Oslo Accords,” the organization
continued. “If we do not act today, we will find ourselves returning to full
military rule across the entire West Bank.”

The left-wing group noted that the encroachment of Israeli settlements into Area
B is not a new phenomenon, and pointed to three examples in which construction
had bled over the lines into the Palestinian Authority-controlled area in the
past. The key difference, it said, was that in those instances, the structures
were not located hundreds of meters from the boundaries of Area C and were
eventually demolished by the Civil Authority.
Under the Oslo Accords, 18% of the West Bank was defined as Area A, under
Palestinian civil and security authority; approximately 22% was defined as Area
B, under Palestinian civil authority, and the remaining approximately 60% of the
West Bank territories were defined as Area C, under full Israeli security and
civilian authority.
In total over the past year, 52 outposts were established across the West Bank,
Peace Now said, adding that the settlements in Area B constituted approximately
13.5% of the total.
The number of outposts established in 2024 is an increase of 100% from the
previous year, as Peace Now’s 2023 Settlement Watch Report recorded the
establishment of 26 new outposts.

of old’ – a legal system rooted in Halacha. But not this way
Neal Katz
One light in a dark valley
In these days, the world feels darker and darker. Enter a recent piece of art a
local church lovingly shared with my congregation
Bepi Pezzulli

In a year where many of the most oppressive regimes committed human rights
atrocities, the world body stayed fixated on Israel
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
A letter to our 100 – and to ourselves
We cannot undo Joseph’s captivity at his brothers’ hands, but we must do all we
can for our captives in Gaza, for we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers
(Vayeshev)
Mijal Bitton

In times of suffering, the Jewish people circle the wagons. What’s harder is
keeping hold of our fractious family when times are good (Vayeshev)
Adam S. Ferziger

healthcare system, the US should look at Israel’s healthcare; Israel gets it
right
David Bryfman

After too many incidents have left Jews feeling marginalized, I say it’s time to
talk it out with our non-Jewish colleagues
Suzie Navot

the court’s president, Minister Yariv Levin is abusing his authority
Harold Behr
I am a digital camera
I am as sentimental as the next person, but once is enough to be treated to the
image of a soon-to-be-forgotten moment of family fun
