“What was done until now in secret,” the report continued, “has come into the open: the bulldozers are working non- stop in settlements–every day new footholds are established, caravans are placed on the land and many settlements are expanded. The objective: the establishment of thousands of new dwelling units in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza before the elections–creating facts on the ground.”
