Israelis Establish New 'West Bank' Settlement, Say Trump Will Support Them - Ryan Jones ISRAEL TODAY

Israelis Establish New 'West Bank' Settlement, Say Trump Will Support Them

Settlements

While unwavering in his support of Israel, US President Donald Trump has quietly echoed his predecessors in labeling the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria as problematic.

But a group of Israelis on hand for the construction of a new settlement on Wednesday insisted that once he understands the importance of their enterprise, Trump will change his tune.

The new settlement is called "Amichai" and is situated not far from the biblical town of Shiloh in central Samaria. It is being built, with government approval, for those Jews forcibly evicted from the unauthorized settlement of Amona several years ago.

This week saw the first temporary houses erected in Amichai, with more permanent homes to be constructed in the coming months.

Speaking to Arutz Sheva, settler leader Avi Roeh said of the expected international backlash:

"This is a beneficial period and we, as the State of Israel, must take advantage of this, including by declaring sovereignty over the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

"I think that the American administration is completely with us, and the moment that we explain the importance, [the US] understands it, because it is disconnected from the pressures of the Arab countries."

Israelis Crack Dead Sea Scrolls' Ancient Code - UNITED WITH ISRAEL

Researchers at Haifa University have deciphered one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a feat that has eluded scholars for decades.

The scroll, one of the last to be discovered, was penned by the ancient Yachad sect, a secretive and isolated group that lived in Israel toward the end of the Second Temple Era.

Researchers determined that the little-known sect practiced many rituals and observances that differed from other Jews of the time. Some of these peculiar practices remained unknown until now.
