The Jewish National Fund’s board of directors is expected to approve the purchase of land in the West Bank on Sunday, including in areas with isolated settlements, the Haaretz daily reported.
In February, the Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) voted to allocate NIS 38 million ($11.58 million) for the purchase of land in the West Bank. The controversial vote indicated a policy change KKL-JNF would take operations beyond the Green Line to another level, purchasing land for the purpose of expanding settlements.
