Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Energy Minister Israel Katz attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday to mark the official reopening of Sa-Nur, a settlement in the northern occupied West Bank (Palestinian territory under Israeli military control since 1967) that was evacuated in 2005 as part of Israel's disengagement policy. Authorities have approved 126 housing units at the site, south of Jenin, with 16 families already moved in; Smotrich declared the event a "historic correction" and said it signalled the end of any prospect of a Palestinian state. The move is one of several reversals of the 2005 disengagement, which rights groups say is part of an accelerating settlement expansion drive — with 104 new settlements approved since the current Netanyahu government took office — in violation of international law.
