Israel declared “state ground” 45 hectares adjacent to the illegal invamping of Havat Gilad, in northern the most popular. In this way, the land will be available for development and infrastructure for settlements, explained the Civil Administration, Department of the Ministry of Defense.
The plot previously was part of the administrative territories of the nearby Palestinian villages of Jit, Tell and made it and was not a private property. But the boundaries of the new state -owned area are traced in a tortuous way and include earth islands that could be. Access to this land will become impossible if you will build settlements, the Israeli organization Peace Now said.
In 2018, the Israeli government had expressed its intention to legalize Havat Gilad, but the project had run after Palestinians had claimed the ownership of the land on which it is built. The settlers had claimed to have bought it but had not been able to try it, apart from a single lot from the dozens of the outpost.
The practice of declaring land in the West Bank as State has reached the peak under this government: from December 2022 almost 2,600 hectares have been required, half of all those from the signature of the Oslo agreements in 1993. About 99.8% of state -owned lands in the West Breakies intended for development was assigned to settlements and only 0.2% to the Palestinians, Remember Peace Now.
“70 thousand via Gaza City in the last 72 hours”
With the intensification of the military operations of the IDF in Gaza City, between 70 and 80 thousand residents they left the city, most in the last 72 hours, after about 10 thousand had counted on the weekend. The estimate is reported by the Kan public TV newsletter who cites defense sources, according to which in the meantime Hamas is doing everything to block the movement of the population to the south, “in order to use civilians as human shields and for propaganda purposes”. But tens of thousands of residents have managed to get around the blocking places of the militiamen and leave the city.
