Israel's government said yes to more homes. This happened on Friday. It is in the West Bank. Nineteen places will get help. Two old places can be built again. They were taken down long ago.
Palestinians are not happy. They say it takes their land. They also say it is not allowed. A leader named Bezalel Smotrich likes this.
More Israeli people will live there. The government will give money. They will also help build. People there will get more help. America knew about this plan.
Palestinian leaders are sad. They think it stops a new country. They say it takes land. They say it breaks rules.
Many countries think settlements are bad. Israel does not agree. The old places from 2005 are back. A group called Hamas said it is bad. They want help from the world.
This will make peace talks hard. It is a big problem. It divides Palestinian land. This shows Israel wants more homes. It makes things worse. It will be hard to fix.
