Regavim, in collaboration with the Samaria Regional Council, on Monday petitioned the High Court of Justice, demanding immediate enforcement against the Palestinian Authority’s illegal takeover of approximately 46 dunams (12 acres) designated for an industrial zone in Hinanit, an Israeli town in northern Samaria, near the seam line. Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Council, declared that after “years of failure,” it is time for the state “to protect the law and its lands.”
The petition describes the situation as “the theft of public lands and a continuous disregard for the law,” and argues that the lack of enforcement constitutes a serious violation of public security and the state’s property rights.
Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, said, “This is a failure that has persisted for years. This invasion endangers security and harms the region’s economic development. It encroaches on land already designated for an existing settlement. I expect the state to enforce the law without hesitation. It is time to end lawlessness. State lands are not no-man’s land, not in Samaria and not anywhere else.”
