Israel’s parliament has overturned part of a law that banned illegal settlements in a northern region of the occupied West Bank.
It’s been in place since 2005, when Israeli settlers were moved out during Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
The move fulfils a long-held goal of the far-right politicians who dominate Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government.
And they are the latest in a series of initiatives by the government to increase illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank.
But what's behind this move?
Presenter: Nastasya Tay
