The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported, on Wednesday, that the Israeli government will approve next Sunday to change the definition of the status of the settlements bordering the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

According to the newspaper, dozens of settlements will be removed from their definition as settlements adjacent to the fence, which receive benefits to encourage settlement there.

According to the newspaper, the Israeli government will define the settlements adjacent to the fence, which are only one kilometer away, as "adjacent to the fence," while any settlement that is 2 kilometers away or more than that will not be defined as such, and it will not get benefits to encourage settlement there.

The leaders of the settlements, including Sderot on the Gaza front, and Kiryat Shmona on the Lebanon front, attacked the Israeli government, accusing it of abandoning them and the security of the settlers there.
