Roadworks expand a road to Israeli settlements inside the West Bank, near the city of Bethlehem, Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020. In years to come, Israelis will be able to commute into Jerusalem and Tel Aviv from settlements deep inside the West Bank via highways, tunnels and overpasses that cut a wide berth around Palestinian towns. Rights groups say the new roads that are being built will set the stage for explosive settlement growth, even if President-elect Joe Biden's administration somehow convinces Israel to curb its housing construction.
