"textContent": "\n\n\n\nWith the help of government funds and the police, settlers have been creating new settlements at a rapid clip since Israeli Prime Minister **Benjamin Netanyahu** formed a coalition with far-right leaders **Bezalel Smotrich** and **Itamar Ben-Gvir**. The current coalition government itself has approved over 100 such communities.
