What we can confirm

Multiple reputable news outlets and international bodies report that Israel has officially re-established several previously evacuated settlements in the occupied West Bank (including Ganim, Kadim and Sa-Nur) in 2026, approximately two decades after they were closed or evacuated.[1][3][4][10][11] These moves have drawn significant condemnation and protests from foreign governments and international organizations, which characterize the settlements and new tenders (such as the E1 project) as illegal under international law and a threat to a future Palestinian state.[1][2][6][14][15] Taken together, this constitutes strong evidence that Israel has re-established a closed settlement in the West Bank in the face of growing international protests.
