Israel Officially Reestablishes Sanur Settlement in Occupied West Bank
The Israeli government officially announced the reestablishment of the Sanur settlement in the northern West Bank on April 21, 2026. This move comes over two decades after the settlement was dismantled under the 2005 disengagement law. The decision was formalized despite international warnings that settlement expansion could jeopardize the fragile regional stability. Concurrently, tensions in the West Bank spiked following an incident in Hebron where a Palestinian youth was killed by a vehicle in a ministerial security convoy.
