Mike Levin’s Statement on Approval of New Settlement Construction in the West Bank Washington, D.C. —Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement concerning the approval of new settlement construction in the West Bank: “I am unequivocally opposed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision yesterday to approve new settlement construction in the West Bank. Netanyahu made clear these settlements are intended to erase the prospects of a Palestinian state. By siding with extremists in his government, Netanyahu is once again prioritizing his own political survival at the expense of Israel’s security and Palestinian dignity—all with President Trump’s support. Israelis – through their democratic process – deserve new elected leadership who are willing to lay the groundwork for a more peaceful future. Palestinians deserve new leaders who are committed to coexistence with Israel. This all starts with the return of the hostages still being held in Gaza and an end to the war.” Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
