(260508) -- JERUSALEM, May 8, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Jewish people are pictured at a reconstructed Jewish settlement in Sanur of the West Bank on May 6, 2026. The Palestinian government on Tuesday condemned Israel's approval of about 300 million U.S. dollars for settlement roads in the West Bank, calling it a "flagrant violation" of international law.

In a statement after its weekly meeting in Ramallah, the government said the move supports settlement expansion and comes as violence rises. It said more than 1,600 settler and Israeli force attacks were recorded in April, including assaults, crop damage, and home demolitions. (Photo by Gil Cohen Magen/Xinhua)
