The Western Daily Press, a regional print newspaper covering parts of South West England, also published an article on Oct. 25 (“Israel planning West Bank homes”) reporting on the announced Israeli construction:
ISRAEL is expected to move forward with thousands of new homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank this week, a watchdog group said. The plan for 3,000 new settler units in the West Bank has already drawn calls for restraint from the United States, which on Friday voiced “concern”.
