# Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered unauthorised settler outposts in the West Bank to be dismantled. This comes amid pressure from the U.S. to crack down on settler attacks on Palestinians. The order applies to outposts established by settlers without official authorisation from the Israeli state. Outposts typically consist of prefabricated caravans and house a small number of settlers. The state has from time to time demolished such structures and also formally recognized others, allowing them to access government funding.
