JERUSALEM—Israel has told the Biden administration it will rein in the approval of new West Bank settlement outposts, the prime minister’s office said Monday.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not greenlight any new wildcat settlements in the West Bank beyond nine such outposts built without authorization that it approved retroactively earlier this month. The statement, however, made no mention of the thousands of additional settlement homes in existing settlements officials say are to be soon approved.
