Peace Now report: 2025 witnessed largest West Bank settlement expansion

A report titled 'Annus Mirabilis: Actions by the Israeli Government to Annex the West Bank, 2023–2025' by Peace Now and Kerem Navot claims that the Israeli government has accelerated efforts toward de facto annexation of the West Bank. The report argues these actions form part of a coordinated policy aimed at increasing Israeli control, rather than being isolated incidents. It highlights several key developments, including the establishment of 185 new outposts, the expulsion of 118 Palestinian shepherding communities, the creation of 102 new settlements, and the advancement of 40,064 housing units in settlements. Additionally, farm outposts now control over 1.1 million dunams of land, with nearly 750,000 dunams seized since the current government took office. The report also notes the opening of 223 kilometers of new roads and settlers taking control of 11,520 dunams through agricultural activities.
