The Civil Administration is set to advance plans for 1,303 Palestinian homes in Area C of the West Bank on Monday morning, but only 170 are likely to be approved. It marks the first advancement of Palestinian housing projects since Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took office in May and is part of a series of gestures his government has made to the Palestinians. But of the projected number only 170 homes in Khirbet Abdallah Younas near Jenin, or 13%, are expected to receive final approval.
The other plans to be advanced include 270 homes in Al-Ma’assara village in the Bethlehem area, 233 homes in Almasqufa in the Tulkarm area, and 200 in Dkeika in the South Hebron Hills. In addition, the council will debate plans in the Jenin area for 160 homes in Abba a-Sharqiya and 270 in Bir al-basha. The advancement of Palestinian building in Area C, has been linked to last week’s Higher Council meeting to advance plans for 3,130 settler homes. Of these nearly 60% were approved. Separately the Construction and Housing Ministry published tenders for 1,355 Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria.
