The Israeli Government is building new settlements and expanding existing ones in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in blatant violation of the "peace" agreements between the PLO leadership and Israel. Chapter 2 Article 31, item 7 of the Oslo Il Interim Agreement states that "Neither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the permanent status negotiations.
