National Missions Minister Orit Strock<\/a> said that Israel will establish settlements “with God’s help” across the West Bank, during a speech at the Israeli settlement of Karmei Tzur near Hebron on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We are planning to build four towns,” said Strock, noting that the state is restricting the construction of two of them due to their planned location in Area B.<\/p>\n

Her comments come after the foreign ministers of 12 countries<\/a> confirmed on September 8 their intention to impose national restrictions on trade in goods from Israeli settlements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“With your help, towns will be built in Area B, and also in Area A<\/a>, because both A and B are the Land of Israel,” she said. “We won’t forget about them.”<\/p>\n

Areas A, B, and C are administrative categories of the West Bank established under the 1993 Oslo Accords.<\/p>\n

Strock, a member of the far-right Religious Zionist Party (RZP) led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich<\/a>, noted that the movement to fix “all of Oslo’s problems” had begun, referring to the policies set by the accords regarding Israel’s presence in the West Bank.<\/p>\n

“We started, and we succeeded a lot, a lot, beyond the Holocaust,” she emphasized. “But we didn’t finish. We, with God’s help, are going to build towns in every corner of the Land of Israel.”<\/p>\n

Also on Tuesday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that he would make no distinction between Areas A, B, and C if he is appointed as defense minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cAreas A and B will be treated exactly like Area C,” said Ben-Gvir during a tour of farms and settlement sites in the West Bank. “There will be no difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
