Palestinians east of Tubas city organized a protest on Sunday to prevent an Israeli settler and his family from establishing a settlement outpost between al-Aqaba and Tayasir villages in the northern Jordan Valley.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that the settler brought his sheep and family to the area and threatened to establish a settlement outpost in the place of Tayasir military camp which was evacuated by the Israeli army years ago.
They pointed out that clashes broke out following the protest in which a number of Palestinian citizens suffered tear gas inhalation.
The Committee Against Wall and Settlements affirmed that the Palestinian citizens in the village will continue their protests to foil the Israeli settlers' plan to impose a new fait accompli in the area.

Palestinian sources on Thursday unveiled an Israeli scheme to confiscate thousands of dunums of land north of Tulkarem city for settlement purposes.
Mayor of Qaffin town Jihad Ta'ma told Quds Press that the Israeli occupation authorities have recently confiscated 14 dunums of lands located between Qaffin, north of Tulkarem, and Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin, claiming that they are "state lands" although they are privately-owned by Palestinian citizens.
Ta'ma explained that this confiscation campaign is aimed at expanding and annexing Harish settlement built near the Green Line separating the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories and the West Bank.
He pointed out that Israel, since it occupied Qaffin in 1967, has seized thousands of dunums of the village's lands in favor of settlement projects with the aim of imposing new facts on the ground and consolidating settlement in the West Bank.
Israel's settlement construction is a systematic activity that is not limited to residential buildings but also includes schools, institutes, universities, health centers, industrial areas and even road networks connecting settlements together.
The UN Security Council on 23rd December 2016 adopted a draft resolution to halt the illegal settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories since it undermines the two-state solution and the peace process.

The City Council in occupied Jerusalem approved, Thursday, the construction of 3000 new colonialist units, near Gilo illegal colony, south of Jerusalem.
The targeted lands, which Israel is planning to build the new units on, are largely privately-owned by the Palestinians.
The deputy mayor of Jerusalem, who also heads the “Planning Committee” stated that “this is a historic day for Jerusalem,” and added, “this means more homes of young couples in the city, and ongoing development.”
Meanwhile, the Palestinians, including the young couples in Jerusalem, continue to be denied the right to build and expand on their own lands, face constant home demolitions and very high fines.
Israel’s colonies in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention which states an occupying power is forbidden from transferring parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies.

Israeli settlers began, on Wednesday morning, building a new settlement to the south of Nablus, in the occupied northern West Bank, a settlement that was recognized as a substitute for the outpost Amona, which was evacuated last year.
According to Al Ray, settlers brought many residential caravans to the outpost near the settlement of Shilo, located between Nablus and Ramallah, where the settlement is expected to house 300 settlers, in the first stage.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised colonial settlers that he would build a new settlement in place of the evacuated settlement, while the settlers chose their location near the settlement of “Shilo”, in the mountains south of Nablus, and called the settlement “Amihai”.

On Wednesday morning, the Israeli company “Kelvon” began installing mobile homes at the work site of the new “Amihai” settlement, on the lands of Jalud village, in Nablus governorate.
Ghassan Douglass, who is responsible for the settlement files in the northern West Bank, said that the southern area of the village of Jalud has been witnessing, since the morning hours, an active movement of trucks carrying mobile homes, amid intensive presence of settlers and occupation forces in the region.
He explained, according to the PNN, that 50 of these houses are placed at the site of “Amihai” settlement in basin 16, known as “Mount Abu al-Rukhm”, to temporarily housing the residents of “Amona” until the completion of the new settlement.
Daghlas warned of the high rate of settlement and the seizure of more Palestinian land.

The Israeli occupation authorities started the construction of a new separation wall dismembering Palestinian communities in Deir Balout, west of Salfit.
Deir Ballout mayor, Yahya Mustafa, said the construction of the wall dovetails Israeli works to expand Leshem settlement at the expense of Palestinian lands in Rafat and Kafr al-Dick towns.
Local farmer Idris Abdullah said the settlement activities led to the confiscation of parts of his land lots in the area and that the apartheid fence is just a few meters away from his family’s home.
He added that the occupation authorities have repeatedly threatened to confiscate his lands and olive groves located east of Deir Ballout.
Researcher Khaled Maali said dozens of olive trees were uprooted and huge rocks stolen from Palestinian lands to build the wall.
Maali said the confiscation of Palestinian lands for the benefit of illegal settlement construction contravenes Article 49 and Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Hebrew media sources on Tuesday said that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to introduce a bill to impose Israeli sovereignty on Ma'ale Adumim settlement, east of Jerusalem, as part of the project "E1".
The Hebrew TV channel 20 said that Netanyahu expects that the US president Donald Trump will not try to prevent this move.
The TV channel added that Netanyahu's move comes to appease the angry right-wing who are frustrated with the slow pace of settlement construction in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
It pointed out that the same bill was proposed several times in the past but it was repeatedly rejected due to US pressures.
The Hebrew channel revealed that talks has been conducted between Tel Aviv and Washington in recent weeks on this matter. Israelis believe that if Trump realizes that Palestinians do not want to be engaged in negotiations mediated by the US, he may not oppose the annexation of Ma'ale Adumim.
"E1" area acquired its name from the abbreviate for the word "East". It is located adjacent to East Jerusalem and covers an area of 12 square kilometers. There are Israeli plans for construction in this area to create a physical link between Ma'ale Adumim settlement and Jerusalem.
On 23rd December 2016 the UN Security Council adopted a draft resolution that condemns the Israeli settlement construction and calls for its complete halt saying that it undermines the two-state solution and the peace process.

An Israeli bill that allows the Israeli government to slash funds to the Palestinian Authority (PA) because of salaries paid to Palestinian prisoners and their families was approved on Sunday, in a move condemned by activists as “an act of piracy.”
Israel’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved the bill, which calls for deducting welfare payments paid to the prisoners and their families from the tax revenues that Israel transfers to the PA.
The bill will have to pass three readings in the Knesset plenum before it becomes law.
According to Israeli news outlets, the bill would see Israel cut around NIS 1 billion ($285 million) from the annual tax revenues it allegedly hands over to the PA.
The bill was initiated by opposition Yesh Atid MK Elazar Stern.
The funds that Israel is planning to deduct would be funneled to Israeli settlers and settlement projects across the occupied Palestinian territories.
Reacting to the decision of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, many activists denounced the move as an act of piracy and flagrant theft of money.
The approval of the bill comes in the context of the campaign of incitement and hostility waged by the occupation government against the prisoners and the families of the martyrs and wounded anti-occupation protesters.

Israeli bulldozers on Monday morning leveled Palestinian lands near Rafafa settlement, illegally built on privately-owned land northwest of Salfit.
Speaking with a PIC news correspondent, eye-witnesses said Israeli bulldozers razed Palestinian lands northwest of Salfit and carried out excavations in an attempt to construct new settlement units near Rafafa’s southern corners.
Sources from Haris town warned of underway Israeli attempts to uproot dozens of olive trees so as to expand a settler’s bypass road in the area.
Expert in settlement affairs Khaled Maali said Israeli bulldozers continue to level Palestinian lands across Salfit around the clock for the benefit of illegal settlement expansion and infrastructure development.
Maali said such activities contravene international humanitarian law and Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Hebrew TV channel 7 on Saturday evening reported that the Israeli Minister of Interior Aryeh Deri has given the green light to the planning and building institutions to prepare for the establishment of a new settlement city in Qalqilya.
This project comes months after the Israeli government backtracked on a plan to expand settlements in Qalqilya.
The Hebrew channel said that the city will include in the first phase three settlements to the southwest of Qalqilya city resulting from bringing four settlements together with a population of more than 20,000 settlers.
The settlements in question are Sheari Tikva, Etz Efraim and Elkana. A forth settlement called Oranit to be added in the future.
The Interior Minister will recommend these settlement blocs to be fused before the elections to be held in October 2018.
According to Deri, by 2023 Oranit settlement will be annexed to the new settlement bloc which will be then officially declared as a city in the occupied West Bank.
Channel 7 said that Deri's initiative is supported by all heads of the settlement blocs included in the project. They believe that the initiative will achieve optimal utilization of the Palestinian lands confiscated for settlement expansion.

The Palestinian National Office for the Defense of Land on Saturday revealed that the Israeli government is planning to legalize a settlement outpost called Netiv Ha'avot located in the vicinity of Gush Etzion settlement bloc between Bethlehem and al-Khalil.
The National Office said in a report that permanent houses instead of caravans will be built for the 15 Israeli families living in the illegal outpost.
According to the report, the Israeli government has approved the construction of a new settlement road stretching from Beit Jala west of Bethlehem to Eliezer settlement built on Palestinian lands in al-Khader town south of the city.
The government has also ratified the establishment of 67 new settlement units on privately-owned lands in al-Khader town.
Israel's settlement expansion and annexation policy has become an official policy openly practiced by the government and encouraged by the US administration.
Moreover, the report noted, the Knesset has okayed in the second and third readings a bill calling for applying Israeli law to academic institutions in the West Bank settlements.
The National Office for the Defense of Land stressed that this project is another step toward the annexation of the occupied West Bank to Israel.
Based on the National Office's report, the Israeli plan to annex the West Bank has been put forward in three proposals: the first is the annexation of Area C, which constitutes 60% of the West Bank, while the second is the annexation of Occupied Jerusalem and the eastern settlements such as Ma'ale Adumim in addition to about 3% of the West Bank lands that includes large settlement blocs like Gush Etzion.
The third proposal goes for the annexation of most of the West Bank settlements and it is considered the most viable in Israeli circles.

Israeli authorities have completed the construction of a watchtower checkpoint at the entrance of Damascus Gate, the main gate into the Muslim Quarter of occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City.
The watchtower checkpoint is one of three which Israel began to install last month, drawing criticism from Palestinian residents of the Old City, who say the construction watchtower is aimed at further restricting Palestinian access to the area and solidifying an already constant presence of Israeli forces in the area.
Damascus Gate was the site of several violent attacks after a wave of unrest began in October 2015, characterized largely by small-scale stabbing attacks against uniformed Israeli forces.
A number of Palestinians were also shot and killed in the area by Israeli forces, during alleged attempted attacks.
In addition to the police watch tower, surveillance cameras have been set up by Israel at almost every corner and street in and around the Old City to monitor all activity.
In June 2017, Israeli officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, approved a new “security strategy” at the Damascus Gate area, after Netanyahu suggested it be turned into a “sterile area.”
Israel’s Channel 2 reported at the time that the approved security strategy will include building high, above-ground “surveillance points” in areas where Israeli forces will be stationed, “making it difficult for Palestinians to approach Israeli soldiers.”
“Certain routes will be specified for entering the Old City at the Damascus Gate, and more technological devices will be installed and used at the area to maintain Israeli police’s control and surveillance over the area.”
Additionally, Channel 2 said that Palestinians will only be allowed to enter the Old City through Damascus Gate via specific routes, where Palestinians will undergo “thorough searches.”
Israeli media and officials lauded the extensive surveillance system as being an active deterrent of “lone wolf attacks.”
However, according to Ma’an News Agency, the narrative of “lone wolf” assailants under the influence of online incitement, which has been perpetuated by the current right-wing Israeli government, has been dismissed by analysts as overly simplistic.
Palestinians have instead pointed chiefly to the frustration and despair brought on by Israel’s 50-year military occupation of the Palestinian territory and the absence of a political horizon as reasons for the outbreak of violence that started in October 2015.

Preparations are underway to establish a new network of roads to expand existing settlements and pave the way for the construction of new ones in implementation of the so-called "Greater Jerusalem" project which will swallow more than 10% of the occupied West Bank.
Greater Jerusalem is a term used to describe the area encompassing the approximately 100 square miles surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem.
Specialist in settlement affairs Ahmad Sab-Laban told the PIC reporter that the Israeli authorities are working to create a series of settlement roads deep inside Jerusalem's neighborhoods in a prelude to expanding existing settlements, building new ones and connecting them together.
Sab-Laban said that this project will entail the confiscation of large areas of privately-owned lands especially in Shu'fat and Beit Hanina villages.
He added that the daily needs of the Palestinian people in East Jerusalem have been linked to the infrastructure network Israel will provide to the settlements through the new roads.
He affirmed that the roads being constructed at this stage will serve existing settlements and settlements to be expanded in the future under "Greater Jerusalem" scheme in an attempt to impose a fait accompli that cannot be changed in any future negotiations with the Palestinians.

A group of extremist Israeli colonialist settlers installed, Monday, a new outpost on Palestinian lands, south of Beita village, southeast of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Fuad Ma’ali, the head of Beita Local Council, said the colonialists installed four mobile homes on four dunams of Palestinian lands, owned by a local Palestinian, identified as Mousa Abdul-Mo’ti, and even hooked them with electricity and placed floodlights around them.
The settlers also brought bulldozers, and initiated infrastructure work to hook their new illegal outpost with running water.
Fateh movement in the West Bank called for resisting Israel’s illegal colonialist activities, and its ongoing occupation of Palestine, as they are constant violations of International Law, and the Four Geneva Convention.
The Palestinians in Beita called on the International Community to intervene, and end the Israeli violations against them, as they live in areas under full Israeli military control, and are deprived of basic services.
