Israel's Haaretz newspaper said the Higher Planning Committee of the Civil Administration
- the body that 🔸implements Israeli government policy in the West Bank
- had advanced plans for the development of 🔸3,476 settler homes on Wednesday
- with 2,452 in Maale Adumim, 694 in Efrat and 330 in Kedar.

Finance Minister #Bezalel #Smotrich, a far-right politician who oversees the Civil Administration,
said following the meeting that a total of🔸 18,515 homes in West Bank settlements had now been approved over the past year.

"The enemies try to harm and weaken us but we will continue to build and be built up in this land," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

However, the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog #Peace #Now warned:
"Instead of building a future of hope, peace, and security, the Israeli government is paving the way for our destruction."

Here's the recording of this morning's Shabbat service from the The Spinoza Havurah.

Our discussion time focused on the story of #Bezalel, the artisan/supervisor of the tabernacle construction project from the book of #Exodus (but also apparently a fashion designer, as he also designed the fabulous vestments of the priests). We ended up then talking about the broader issues of inspiration and the arts in #Judaism.

The Ideal of #Democracy in a Jewish State Is in Jeopardy - from the #Editorial #Board of the #New #York #Times

"While Mr. #Netanyahu clearly has the support of the #Israeli electorate, his coalition’s victory was narrow and cannot be seen as a broad mandate to make concessions to ultrareligious and ultranationalist parties that are putting the ideal of a democratic #Jewish #state in #jeopardy"

'#Ministers in the new #government are set to include figures such as #Itamar #Ben-#Gvir, who was convicted in #Israel in 2007 for #incitement to #racism and supporting a Jewish #terrorist #organization. He will probably be #minister of #national #security. #Bezalel #Smotrich, who has long supported outright #annexation of the #West #Bank, is expected to be named the next #finance #minister, with additional authority over the administration of the West Bank. For the #deputy in the #prime #minister’s office in charge of Jewish identity, Mr. Netanyahu is expected to name #Avi #Maoz, who once described himself as a “#proud #homophobe.”'
