Israel's government has approved a decision requiring those with land claims in the designated 'Area C' of the West Bank to submit supporting documents, leading to potential serious issues for Palestinian land ownership.
The Israeli government has ratified a decision mandating that anyone asserting land ownership claims in the so-called 'Area C' of the West Bank must present documentation to prove their claims. This area constitutes approximately 60% of the West Bank, fully controlled by Israel since agreements made in the 1990s with Palestinian representatives. The implications of this decision are significant, as it could potentially pave the way for Israel to consolidate its hold over Palestinian-owned lands, raising concerns over property rights and sovereignty.
