Israeli ministers announce plans for new illegal settlements in Gaza and West Bank "Israel’s defence and finance ministers announced plans for three illegal settlements in Gaza and more than $400m (£300m) in funding to expand construction in the occupied West Bank, as Israel’s military commander for the region celebrated violent outposts as his “security partners”. With national elections scheduled for 27 October, Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition is racing to expand control of land in occupied Palestine and drive out Palestinians before its mandate expires." Keep in mind these are the very same israeli ministers that the unAustralian corrupt Labor government keep inviting over for wining & dining sessions with free high-level access to ASIO.. #IsraelIsATerroristState #LaborIsComplicit https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/18/israel-plan-new-illegal-settlements-gaza-west-bank-occupied-palestine #BoycottIsrael #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Genocide #HumanRights #News #Activism #Gaza #Palestine #AUSPol
