Benjamin Netanyahu Approves West Bank Land Registration After International Outcry

Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government approved a formal process to register land in the West Bank as state property following global condemnation.These new regulations focus on Area C and repeal laws that previously prevented Israeli settlers from purchasing land directly within the territory.António Guterres and Abdullah II of Jordan warned that the policy undermines the two-state solution and threatens to exacerbate the regional conflict.Bezalel Smotrich announced that the initiative aims to designate 15% of currently unregistered land as state property by the year 2030.
