According to Reuters, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the demolition of illegal settlers’ outposts across the West Bank.

The move was carried out in response to U.S. pressure on Israel to curb escalating violence by settlers against Palestinians. The Israeli outlet “Ynet” reported that around 100 outposts may be affected by this decision.

The order includes settlements that were established without official authorization from the Israeli government and are typically made up of small communities that use prefabricated structures.
