22.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the Nineteen Settlement Approvals
โŒจOn December 22, Palestinian editorial boards shifted focus from infrastructure decay to the institutionalization of West Bank annexation. Morning reports were dominated by the Israeli cabinet's formal approval of 19 new settlements, which editors framed as a strategic effort to erase the Green Line and "choke" Palestinian cities like Dura. This development was coupled with reports of environmental aggression, specifically the discharge of settlement wastewater onto agricultural lands in Nahalin.
By afternoon, the narrative returned to the Gaza ceasefire's disintegration, with authorities documenting 875 violations and over 400 fatalities since the truce began. Media attention specifically highlighted fatal shootings in eastern Gaza and the systematic demolition of residential blocks in Gaza City. Concurrently, a domestic crisis emerged as editors prioritized widespread public anger and factional condemnation over President Abbas's decision to halt salary payments to the families of prisoners and martyrs, a move described by several outlets as a "national crime."
