Excellent News from Peace Now

Peace Now reports that Israel is in the midst of approving 1096 new housing units in 11 towns across Judea and Samaria.

The plan also includes the legalization of at least one existing village (aka "outpost") called Nachlei Tal where dozens of Israelis already live, which will expand the village to over 250 families.

Strangely though, Peace Now seems upset by this good news.

The real question is, with the housing crisis in Israel what it is, why isn't the government giving permission to build 100,000 new homes for Jewish families in Judea and Samaria, instead of a mere 1000?
