  "account": "National Missions Minister Orit Strock announced that Israel intends to construct settlements, with God's blessing, in all areas of the West Bank during a speech at the Karmei Tzur settlement near Hebron. The minister revealed plans to establish four towns, though two of these locations are in Area B, which the state plans to restrict. Strock emphasized that Areas A, B, and C, the administrative zones of the West Bank established under the 1993 Oslo Accords, are all part of the Land of Israel. She made it clear that the movement to rectify all of Oslo's issues has already begun, asserting that they have made significant progress and will continue to build towns in every corner of the Land of Israel, with divine assistance. Nation Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir echoed these sentiments, stating that if appointed defense minister, he would treat Areas A, B, and C the same, indicating no distinction between them.",
