"The government is planning a construction boom in West Bank settlements that includes authorizing existing illegal outposts, Yediot Ahronot reported Friday.
Under the scheme, 120 unauthorized West Bank outposts, which the United States wants to see dismantled, would be retroactively approved, the newspaper said.

The Israel Land Authority, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, is planning to build hundreds, and in some cases thousands of new residential units in several West Bank communities."

"Overall, the government plans to build close to 5,000 new residential units in the West Bank, with another 1,500 units subject to the eviction of a Bedouin tribe from land earmarked for construction.

The plan indicates the marketing of the new homes has been approved by the Defense Minister and by the head of the Civil Administration in the West Bank.
In addition, the Land Authority is seeking to map land purchased by Jews in the West Bank before Israel’s establishment in 1948, in a bid to secure land rights in future negotiations."
