Israel announces $12.9m boost to settlements

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday his government will fund a $12.9 million plan to strengthen two Jewish settlements in the southern West Bank.

 

Netanyahu said that funding will go to Kiryat Arba and to Israeli settlers in the adjacent Palestinian city of Hebron. The announcement came after a Palestinian fatally stabbed a 13-year-old Israeli in her bed in Kiryat Arba in late June.

  

Last week Netanyahu authorized hundreds of new homes for Israelis in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a response to Palestinian violence.
