Israeli plan to seize more than 10,000 dunums west of Salfit

Salfit governor Abdullah Kamil revealed a new Israeli settlement plan aimed at seizing more than 10,000 dunums of Palestinian agricultural land for settlement expansion.

The so-called Supreme Planning Council declared its intention to seize lands belonging to the towns of Al-Zawiya, Deir Ballut, Rafat, and Masha west of Salfit Governorate, and Sinria of Qalqilya Governorate, Kamil added.

The targeted lands are planned to be used for the establishment of industrial and tourist areas, settlement units, and roads linking settlements.

Kamil called on local residents and farmers to communicate with the local authorities represented by the municipal and village councils, the General Authority for Civil Affairs, and the Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority to submit their objections.

Kamil also called on the international community to take decisive positions against Israel to stop its illegal settlement policies.
