Jerusalem-Ma'an- The Hebrew Channel 7 revealed that the occupation's Civil Administration has drawn a new blue line for the construction of the "Nahal Haltz" settlement in Etzion, south of Bethlehem. The Blue Line allows for the start of the procedures for establishing the settlement, which is one of the five settlements that the Israeli Cabinet decided to build in the West Bank, in response to what the occupation government called the Palestinian Authority's measures against Israel and international recognition of the Palestinian state. Finance Minister and Defense Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed the move, saying, "Connecting Gush Etzion to Jerusalem through the establishment of a new settlement is a historic moment." About two months ago, the Political and Security Cabinet approved the establishment of five new settlements in the West Bank. Source: Maan News Agency
