Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly ordered the evacuation of unauthorized settler outposts in the occupied West Bank, according to senior officials. The order, which targets structures established without official Israeli authorization, aims to dismantle about 100 outposts, according to Ynet. The exact timeline for the operation remains unclear.
The move comes amid growing condemnation of violent settlers, dubbed "terrorists" by the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. The outposts, numbering around 340 in total, are situated in Areas A and B of the West Bank, where Palestinians constitute the majority of the population. Despite this, Israel maintains that the territory is disputed, not occupied, and considers the West Bank to be under military control.
