Israel to accelerate settlement building fearing possible freeze by Biden

The Zionist entity authorities decreed arrangements for hastening settlement construction before a potential freeze by President-elect Joe Biden upon entering the White House, Israeli media has reported.

As vice president, Israeli daily Haaretz reported, Biden had a significant role in halting new construction in the settlements of the occupied West Bank.

Accordingly, according to Haaretz, Israel is foreseeing that Biden will reject the expansion of settlements, which he has already mentioned as “an obstacle to peace”.

AP related Martin Indyk, a former US peace negotiator during the Clinton and Obama administrations, claiming that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no longer a “vital national interest” for the US, expecting that Biden would not make it a priority.

“I don’t think he’s going to want to have a fight over settlements,” Indyk predicts. “But if Bibi (Netanyahu) makes it an issue, then there will be a problem there.”
