Israel has expanded its control over Palestinian territory by declaring approximately 194 dunams of new land as "state land" in the villages of Jaloud, south of Nablus, and Mugheir, east of Ramallah, Shehab Wire reported. The seizure adds to previous declarations affecting the same areas, broadening the occupation's territorial claims in the West Bank.
The so-called "Blue Line team," an Israeli administrative body, approved the additional land designation. The move continues a pattern of Israeli expansion through legal mechanisms that classify Palestinian agricultural and residential areas as state property, effectively removing them from Palestinian use and control.
