Sabra (Israeli settlement)

Sabra is a Jewish settlement located in the West Bank, a territory captured by Israel in 1967. It is part of the broader Israeli settlement enterprise, which involves establishing Jewish communities in territories Palestinians claim for a future state. These settlements are considered illegal under international law by most countries, though Israel disputes this. Sabra, like other settlements, has residents and infrastructure, and is often a focal point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, symbolizing complex issues related to land, security, and national identity. Its existence affects peace negotiations and prospects for a two-state solution.
