Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly supporting the recognition of illegal farming outposts in the West Bank, despite concerns about escalating settler violence against Palestinians. A document obtained by local media outlines Netanyahu's view that these outposts serve as a strategic response to Palestinian activity in Area C, the part of the West Bank under full Israeli control. The document also notes his call for educational measures to address violence among settler youth, though rights groups argue that these outposts contribute to land seizures and intimidation of Palestinian communities. While funding and security have been provided to these outposts by government ministers, they remain illegal under Israeli law, and prosecutions for settler violence are rare. The issue has drawn criticism amid a sharp rise in attacks, with hundreds of Bedouin families displaced and security agencies struggling to contain the trend.
