“Israel” Seizes about 2000 Acres of Palestinian Land in West Bank
The “Israeli” entity has announced the seizure of hundreds of acres of more Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank to expand settlements. It is viewed as one of the entity’s biggest land-grab schemes. | “Israel’s” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Friday to grab 800 hectares [1,977 acres] of more land in the occupied West Bank after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited “Israel” for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The minister emphasized the entity’s determination to press ahead with settlement building in the occupied West Bank, despite growing international outcry. Smotrich said that “we promote settlement through hard work and in a strategic manner all over ‘Israel’.” The “Israeli” entity has before also denominated land of 300 hectares [740 acres] in the Jordan Valley as state land in the Maale Adumim area of the West Bank.
