"Israel Approves Rebuilding of West Bank Settlement: A Divisive Move 20 Years in the Making In a move likely to spark controversy and reignite tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, the Israeli government has given the green light to rebuild the former West Bank settlement of Sa-Nur, one of four communities that were forcibly evacuated in 2005. The decision marks a significant shift in policy, as it comes two decades after the initial eviction, and has been met with widespread criticism from Palestinian leaders and human rights groups. The rebuilding of Sa-Nur is seen as a major test of Israel's commitment to its own settlement freeze policies, and is expected to have far-reaching implications for the already fragile peace process. As the international community watches with bated breath, the future of the Middle East peace talks hangs in the balance."
Sa-Nur is one of four former West Bank settlements approved by the government two decades after settlers were evicted.
