Israel allocates $37m to develop West Bank heritage sites amid settlement expansion

Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced on Tuesday that $37 million would be allocated to develop more than 70 alleged Jewish heritage sites in the West Bank. “This is a Zionist act of the highest order. A people without a past has no future,” Smotrich said on X. The move occurs amid increased illegal settlement expansion in the occupied territory. The funding was approved by a government steering committee.
