Palestinian land

Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian agricultural land in Beita and attacked vehicles near Burin, both located south of Nablus. The attacks occurred under the protection of the Israeli army, according to local sources cited by Wafa news.

Israeli authorities have ordered the confiscation of 16,577 dunums (4.09 acres) of Palestinian land in the village of Dura al-Qar', near Ramallah and al-Bireh, for military purposes. The order, effective until 2028, targets a 2,076-meter strip around the Beit El settlement, with a 2026 report documenting 40 such orders totaling 611 dunums used for buffer zones, security roads, and military sites.

Israeli authorities issued 49 military orders since 2026 to seize 2,093 dunums of Palestinian land under security measures, restricting land use without transferring ownership. The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission argues these orders expand settler control around infrastructure like bypass roads and the separation wall, with 2026's first-half orders exceeding 2025's total.

Since the Oslo Accords, negotiations have coincided with illegal Israeli settlement expansion and ongoing Palestinian land loss. The article critiques these talks for enabling territorial gains by Israel.
