Israeli government allocates millions to illegal West Bank settler outposts

The Israeli government allocated millions of dollars in 2023 to securing illegal West Bank settler outposts, the anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now has revealed.

The Ministry of Settlements and National Mission confirmed it authorised the allocation of 75 million shekels ($20.5 million) last year for security equipment for "young settlements"- referring to unauthorised outposts in the West Bank.

According to Peace Now, the money has paid for vehicles, drones, cameras, generators, electric gates, fences and roads.
