The head of the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Minister Moayed Shaaban, said that the so-called "commander of the central region in the occupation army" issued a decision last night defining the scope of three random settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, in preparation for converting them into self-contained settlements that can be developed and expanded at the expense of Palestinian citizens land. 

Shaaban added, in a press statement, today, Thursday, that settlement expansion, control of Palestinian land and the imposition of new facts on the ground have become the most prominent headlines of the current occupation government, which is controlled and managed by the leaders of settler gangs.

And he indicated that two outposts are located in the south of Hebron governorate, namely Avigall and Ashhail, and the third is located in Jericho governorate, all of which are random and were established in 2001.

He pointed out that the occupation's last step came as an embodiment of the occupying power's decision to legalize 10 settlement outposts last February, and today it is taking measures to install them by adjusting their areas of influence, meaning that the occupation authorities decided to allocate other lands for the benefit of these outposts in order to expand them in the future at the expense of citizens' lands.

Shaaban recalled the seriousness of the occupation government's decision to reduce the steps of approving settlement plans, indicating that what we see today of a great acceleration in the issue of approving, consolidating and expanding outposts is a reflection of the recent occupation decision represented in providing expanded powers to the extremist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in the issue of settlement expansion.

He warned that the next stage will witness other occupation attempts to control more lands and impose dangerous new facts on the ground, as long as the world practices double standards and remains silent in front of the full-fledged crime of occupation.

Shaaban called on all official and popular frameworks and national factions to expedite participation in the completion of a national strategy that strengthens the frameworks of popular resistance, as it is the most effective means of resisting and thwarting the occupation's plans.
