Israel's government said yes to nineteen new homes. These homes are in the West Bank. Some ministers liked this idea. They do not want a Palestinian country. Palestinians want their own country.
Many people think these homes are not allowed. They make peace talks hard. Israel's government is building more homes now. They are making old places official. They call them "new parts" of old homes. This government has now said yes to sixty-nine new places.
This is happening during the war in Gaza. The war started in October 2023. The war is making things more violent. People worry this will stop a Palestinian country.
Also, Israeli companies that make weapons are earning money. Their sales grew a lot this year. They earned much money. Many weapons go to Europe.
