أَصْدَرَ الِاتِّحَادُ الْأُورُوبِّيُّ، يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ يُولْيُو ٢٠٢٦، تَقْرِيرًا عَنِ الِاسْتِيطَانِ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيِّ فِي الضِّفَّةِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ الْمُحْتَلَّةِ، بِمَا فِيهَا الْقُدْسُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ. وَقَالَ التَّقْرِيرُ إِنَّ النَّشَاطَ الِاسْتِيطَانِيَّ تَسَارَعَ بِصُورَةٍ غَيْرِ مَسْبُوقَةٍ خِلَالَ عَامِ ٢٠٢٥.
وَوَفْقًا لِلتَّقْرِيرِ، وَافَقَتِ الْحُكُومَةُ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّةُ رَسْمِيًّا عَلَى خُطَطٍ لِإِنْشَاءِ أَرْبَعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ مُسْتَوْطَنَةً جَدِيدَةً فِي الضِّفَّةِ، مِنْ دُونِ الْقُدْسِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ. وَهٰذَا أَعْلَى عَدَدٍ سُجِّلَ فِي عَامٍ وَاحِدٍ. كَمَا أُقِيمَتْ سِتٌّ وَثَمَانُونَ بُؤْرَةً اِسْتِيطَانِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً.
كَذٰلِكَ، تَقَدَّمَتْ خُطَطٌ لِبِنَاءِ ٦٣٬٣١١ وَحْدَةً سَكَنِيَّةً فِي الضِّفَّةِ وَالْقُدْسِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ. وَشَمِلَ ذٰلِكَ ٢٧٬٩٤١ وَحْدَةً فِي الضِّفَّةِ، وَ٣٥٬٣٧٠ وَحْدَةً فِي الْقُدْسِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ. وَلَمْ تُنَفَّذْ هٰذِهِ الْخُطَطُ بَعْدُ، وَلٰكِنَّ التَّقْرِيرَ حَذَّرَ مِنْ تَأْثِيرِهَا فِي حَلِّ الدَّوْلَتَيْنِ.
وَجَدَّدَ الِاتِّحَادُ الْأُورُوبِّيُّ دَعْوَتَهُ إِلَى وَقْفِ بِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَوْطَنَاتِ وَمُصَادَرَةِ الْأَرَاضِي وَهَدْمِ الْمَنَازِلِ. وَأَكَّدَتْ مَحْكَمَةُ الْعَدْلِ الدَّوْلِيَّةُ فِي رَأْيٍ صَدَرَ عَامَ ٢٠٢٤ أَنَّ الْمُسْتَوْطَنَاتِ فِي الضِّفَّةِ وَالْقُدْسِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ تُخَالِفُ الْقَانُونَ الدَّوْلِيَّ، بَيْنَمَا تَرْفُضُ إِسْرَائِيلُ هٰذَا التَّفْسِيرَ.

EU Report Warns of Accelerating Settlement Expansion in the West Bank
On Friday, July 17, 2026, the European Union issued a report about Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The report said that settlement activity accelerated at an unprecedented rate during 2025.
According to the report, the Israeli government officially approved plans to establish 54 new settlements in the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem. This was the highest number recorded in one year. Eighty-six new settlement outposts were also established.
Plans also advanced for the construction of 63,311 housing units in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. This included 27,941 units in the West Bank and 35,370 units in East Jerusalem. These plans have not yet been implemented, but the report warned about their effect on the two-state solution.
The European Union renewed its call to stop settlement construction, land confiscation, and home demolitions. In an opinion issued in 2024, the International Court of Justice affirmed that settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem violate international law, while Israel rejects this interpretation.
