The Israeli government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has led an unprecedented drive to expand Jerusalem’s control of Judea and Samaria, according to a report on Friday citing data and Israeli officials.

Since the coalition of right-wing and religious parties was formed in late 2022, the number of Jewish communities in the region that have official recognition by the Israeli government increased from 128 to 178, according to Israel’s Channel 12 News.

Of the 50 villages that received government approval over the past 30 months, 19 already existed and were retroactively legalized, 14 were neighborhoods of existing communities, 10 have yet to be built and seven are currently farming outposts, according to the report.
