Kind of the same thing, they can’t “allow” the thing either because they have no authority over it. And they are not allowing it to happen, Israel already did allow it to happen but under the guise of “being against it” for the media. That’s how the colonists got there.
Israel is now openly participating in the annexation and colonization, financially and militarily, which is much more than allowing it to happen.
If someone plans to rob a gas station the title wouldn’t be “approve/allow plan to confiscate currency from energy supplier”.
you don’t need authority to allow something to happen or approve of a source of action, but I’ll concede that “allow” implies inapplicable idling. I really can’t think of other ways to convey that the construction would cut West Bank in half and either that a government “tender, which seeks bids from developers, would clear the way to begin construction of the E1 project” or “Settlement development in E1, an open tract of land east of Jerusalem, has been under consideration for more than two decades, but was frozen due to U.S. pressure during previous administrations.” I can’t say “advances plan” either because they’re opening up submissions for plans.
FWIW I would endorse “approve” in your gas station example.
to be fair I can’t think of a better headline either
“Israel massively expands colonization of West Bank”
that’s not very specific.
now that I’ve thought about it more maybe “Israel approves settlement construction that would cut the West Bank in two”
I don’t like the word “approve” because it implies that Israel has authority to decide it.
Exactly. Only an authority figure can grant approval.
“Israel to allow settlement construction that would cut the West Bank in two”?

There. Easy. Straight to the point.
