Land registration and Gaza
France Palestine Solidarité said Israel’s decision to resume land registration procedures in the occupied West Bank for the first time since 1967 will facilitate the expropriation and displacement of Palestinians, and it linked the move to a proposal approved by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“Israel grants the United States a plot of land that had been owned by Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem for one dollar, under an agreement between the two countries, today, Wednesday, to establish the permanent headquarters of the U”
The same article said the land registration process, also called 'land title settlement', was reinstated after nearly six decades and that Bimkom described it as a way to 'systematize the plunder of Palestinian lands in order to pursue the expansion of Israeli settlements and to consolidate the apartheid regime'.
France Palestine Solidarité also argued that land registration will be inaccessible to a large portion of the Palestinian population because many have never officially registered their lands or cannot prove their ownership, and it said the government decision aims to settle the question of 15% of unregistered lands in the West Bank within four years.
In Gaza, the NPA – l'Anticapitaliste said aid still arrives drip by drip and that Gaza residents live under the constant threat of bombardments and deadly fire, while it cited a study saying 'in Gaza, more than a million children need mental health services and psychosocial support'.
The NPA – l'Anticapitaliste added that 96% of children consider their death imminent and that 61% of children and adolescents suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, 38% from depression, and 41% from anxiety.
Orders, roads, and resistance
WAFA Agency reported that the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said Israeli authorities issued 49 military orders for the takeover of land since the beginning of 2026 under the guise of security, targeting a total of 2,093 dunums of Palestinian-owned land.
WAFA Agency said the commission argued that the orders do not formally transfer land ownership but impose broad restrictions on land use by requiring the removal or pruning of trees and vegetation, restricting access and preventing replanting, and it warned that the impact can restrict Palestinian access to larger areas of agricultural land.
Watan said Israeli occupation authorities are moving to seize broad swathes of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank as part of a project to widen Highway 60, and it said the road connects several Israeli settlements to the east of Ramallah and south of Nablus.
Watan quoted landowner Tayseer Salem, who said: "We are in grave danger, because they want to seize the land by force."
Watan also said the notices grant landowners 60 days to lodge objections to the decision, and it reported that Israel announced in June the seizure of 464 dunams of land in the town of Sinjil north of Ramallah.
Archaeology, embassy land, and stakes
Le Parisien reported that a bill discussed this week in the Knesset aims to place under exclusive Israeli control all of the West Bank's archaeological sites in violation of the 1993 accords, and it said that in Sebastia the expropriation process has already begun.
Le Parisien described Palestinian farmer Subhi Yasmeen, 66, saying: "This land has been handed down to us from generation to generation, for hundreds of years."
Al-Jazeera Net said Israel granted the United States a plot of land that had been owned by Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem for one dollar under an agreement to establish the permanent headquarters of the U.S. embassy in the city.
Al-Jazeera Net reported that Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said Trump's 2017 decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was like a 'historic justice', and it said the lease runs 99 years for one dollar.
Across the sources, France Palestine Solidarité said the Israeli Supreme Court rejected a petition opposing the resumption of the land registration process as 'premature' to rule on the implementation, while Peace Now called the reestablished land registration process a 'total annexation' of Palestinian land.
