New law allows Israeli settlers to move into Palestinian cities
This is seen by Palestinians as the most dangerous push towards annexation and the most critical decision since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967. It allows individual Israeli settlers to own lands in areas that were historically under Palestinian control.
Palestinians can only build in Area A and Area B. What happens is every time they try to build in Area C, Israel demolishes that. Now, this new development puts that at risk. Why? Because one clause, one part of this decision allows the Israeli authorities to demolish houses in Area A and Area B, which have historically been under full Palestinian control.
When we talk about the Israeli settler presence, we talk about Area C. This is where we see many settler attacks take place, and this decision kind of puts all the occupied West Bank in limbo. It puts it in a place that further consolidates Israel’s occupation and control over lands, but also, and in the words of many Israeli officials, buries the dream of an independent Palestinian state.
We will start to see Israeli settlers coming to Palestinian city centres. There’s nothing preventing them, according to this law, from owning land and coming to the centre of Ramallah, for example.
Again, all of this is illegal under the signed agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organization, but also under international law that prohibits an occupying power from moving its citizens to the occupied territory.
There’s also barely a day without Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians, wherever they are. The main goal is basically to kick Palestinians off their lands one way or another. These attacks are getting more brazen.
This all was supposed to be temporary until 1999. The Oslo accords were never implemented beyond the first step

The Oslo Accords (1993–1995) established a five-year interim phase for Palestinian self-rule, intended to lead to a final, full-control agreement by May 4, 1999.
Now Gaza is next with the so called 'peace' board.
Jordan slams Israel’s new occupied West Bank measures as ‘illegal’
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry has called the new rules a “blatant violation of international law” and an assault on Palestinians’ right to an independent state.
In a statement, the ministry responded to the measures, which, according to the Israeli media, included scrapping decades-old regulations that prevent Jewish private citizens from buying land in the territory.
The ministry said Jordan “strongly condemns the illegal Israeli decisions and measures adopted to impose unlawful Israeli sovereignty, entrench settlement activity, and impose a new legal and administrative reality in the occupied West Bank”.
The steps constitute “a flagrant breach of international law, an undermining of the two-state solution, and an attack on the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 lines with occupied Jerusalem as its capital”, the statement said, adding that Israel has “no sovereignty over occupied Palestinian land”.
Jordan reiterated its “absolute rejection and condemnation” of unilateral, illegal and null measures in the West Bank and warned that the policies of Israel’s far-right government fuel cycles of violence and instability in the region.
