JERUSALEM, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- The United States said it is "deeply concerned" about reports Israel plans to relocate the Israeli settlement of Amona to Palestinian land in the West Bank.
After the Israeli Supreme Court ordered the government to demolish the Amona illegal Israeli settlement by the end of the year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu's administration suggested it would be relocated to West Bank land "abandoned" by Palestinians after the Six-Day War in 1967. About 40 families would be moved to the nearby site.
