Washington punishes Tel Aviv by postponing the "Negev Forum" after its settlement decisions

In an unusual move, US President Joe Biden's administration informed, on Sunday evening, the far-right government in Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, of a new postponement of the so-called "Negev Forum", which was to be held in Morocco at the beginning of next month.


According to the Hebrew website, Ynet, this step was taken against the background of the approval of plans to build more than 4,500 settlement units in the West Bank.


The meeting was scheduled to take place in Morocco at the beginning of next July, after it was postponed days ago from the date previously set at the end of this month, due to the Eid al-Adha holiday, as it was postponed last March. Because of the security tensions in the Palestinian territories.
