Israel seizes land near Ramallah to expand illegal outpost
Israeli authorities have announced the seizure of 74 hectares (183 acres) of land in the Palestinian villages of al-Mughayyir and Khirbet Jaba’it, northeast of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
The area has been declared “state land” to tighten control and expand illegal settlements, Wafa news agency reported, citing the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission.
The area includes the Malachei HaShalom outpost, which was built illegally in 2015 on al-Mughayyir’s land. The commission said the move aims to “legalise” and expand this outpost, which Israel’s far-right government pledged to approve two years ago.
