RAMALLAH, November 14, 2026 (WAFA) – The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission revealed that it had monitored 11 settlement plans combining the expansion of residential neighborhoods, the development of industrial and commercial zones, and amendments to land-use designations and building rights across several West Bank governorates.

The plans include 895 additional settlement units, alongside projects designed to strengthen the economic and service infrastructure of settlements and expand their capacity to accommodate more settlers.

In its weekly report on settlement expansion plans, issued on Saturday, the commission said an analysis of the plans reveals three interconnected tracks: increasing the number of housing units; converting agricultural land and open areas to urban and industrial uses; and expanding services and facilities that enable settlements to remain in place and continue expanding.

The plans are distributed across the governorates of Qalqilya, Salfit, Nablus, Ramallah, Al-Bireh and Hebron, as well as the Gush Etzion Regional Council area in the southern West Bank.

In Qalqilya governorate, the monitoring covered a plan to expand the residential neighborhood of "Tzomet Vradim" in the settlement of "Kedumim," built on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Kafr Qaddum. The plan would further extend the settlement's built-up area around the village. Covering 158.4 dunums, it includes 363 settlement units, of which 288 are additional units, as well as provisions regulating land use, roads and building rights. This represents the largest addition of settlement units among the plans monitored.

In Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate, a plan for the settlement of "Talmon" covers 65.1 dunums and includes 288 settlement units, of which 200 are additional units, alongside regulations governing land use, roads and building rights. The plan combines an increase in housing with a reorganization of the surrounding area to provide the facilities and transport networks needed for further expansion.

In Nablus governorate, a plan for the settlement of "Alon Moreh" предусматри the addition of 83 housing units across 24.939 dunums by converting agricultural land into residential areas, roads and public open spaces. The plan illustrates how land is being shifted from agricultural use to an urban designation serving settlement expansion.

In Hebron governorate, a plan for the settlement of "Beit Hagai," south of Hebron city, includes 225 additional units across 189.476 dunums. It provides for the reorganization of land use for housing, public buildings, roads, facilities and open spaces, thereby expanding the settlement's built-up area and preparing the infrastructure for its growth.
