There are 127 settlements in the West Bank that have legal status
under Israeli law.

Legal settlements must be built on state land, have building permits from the government, and be established by a government resolution. Settlements that do not meet those criteria are West Bank outposts, which are illegal under Israeli law. Most of the world also considers settlements to be illegal under international law.

How are they not supported by the Israeli government, as the government must issue building permits? The UN says the settlements are illegal.
