Israeli Settlements Expand by Record Amount, U.N. Rights Chief Says
==========
Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories have expanded by a record amount, risking the possibility of a Palestinian state, according to the U.N. human rights chief. The growth of Israeli settlements is seen as a transfer of population and a war crime. The U.S. Biden administration has also stated that the settlements are inconsistent with international law. The report documented 24,300 new Israeli housing units in the occupied West Bank, the highest on record since monitoring began in 2017. There has been a dramatic increase in violence against Palestinians, with over 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces or settlers. The policies of Israel's right-wing government align with the goals of the settler movement. The expansion of settlements is seen as an obstacle to achieving a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
