Israel approves settler school expansion in Hebron

Israel approved the expansion of a Jewish school for settlers in the center of the Palestinian city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. The move is part of a construction push that Palestinians say violates a decades-old agreement regarding the city's division. Hebron has been a flashpoint for settler violence and tension, with Israel recently taking control of the Ibrahimi Mosque in the same city. The approval comes amid ongoing international criticism of Israeli settlement expansion in occupied territories.
