Last week, the political-security cabinet quietly approved the establishment of 22 new communities in Judea and Samaria, including the re-establishment of Homesh and Sa-Nur.
It was established that the Palestinian Authority’s land registration procedures in Area C are being conducted without legal authority. Consequently, any resulting documents, maps, records, or approvals will hold no legal or official status within the State of Israel. Furthermore, the security establishment has been instructed to actively prevent these efforts by restricting the entry of personnel into the area, halting foreign aid directed toward the Palestinian land initiatives, and formally demanding that the Palestinian Authority cease its activities in the region.
The Regavim Movement applauded the Cabinet’s decision on land registration in Judea and Samaria, stating:
“This resolution represents a pivotal advancement in addressing a longstanding challenge. For years, Israel stood idle while the Palestinian Authority aggressively pursued land registration, deploying hundreds of workers and funneling millions of dollars from international sources.” Regavim praised “Defense Minister Israel Katz, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and our esteemed partners, for their resolute leadership in advancing this critical initiative to safeguard our territorial integrity and our land and secure our collective future.”
We look forward to seeing these approvals turned into real change on the ground and the decisions on land registration policy turned into action to correct the illegal actions that have been taken on a massive scale all over Area C.
