    Israeli PM seeks parliamentary vote on law legalizing settlements

    Mon Jan 30, 2017 6:32AM

    ‘Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a vote at the Knesset (parliament)
    aimed at legalizing all wildcat settlements built on occupied Palestinian lands.

    A statement by Netanyahu’s office said a bill would be sent to the parliament later
    on Monday “to allow us to regularize once and for all settlements in (the occupied
    West Bank) and prevent repeated attempts to damage them.”

    Wildcat settlements are those built by Israeli settlers without Tel Aviv’s permission.

    The prime minister further said the proposed law is “designed to normalize the
    status of” the Judea and Samaria settlements in the West Bank.’
