WEST BANK, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), A new report by Peace Now and Kerem Navot, titled “Annus Mirabilis: Actions by the Israeli Government to Annex the West Bank, 2023–2025,” has concluded that the current Israeli government has advanced de facto annexation of the West Bank at an “unprecedented pace.”
The report, which was published on Monday, documents the measures advanced by the Israeli government during this period and demonstrates how they form a single, systematic government policy aiming to deepen Israeli control over the West Bank and advance de facto annexation.
Instead of focusing on isolated developments such as settlement construction, outpost authorization, or state land declarations, the report, for the first time, consolidates all government actions and demonstrates that they constitute a single policy.
According to the two organizations, the process of annexing the West Bank is taking place through hundreds of administrative, budgetary, planning decisions, and violent actions.
These include structural governance changes, the transfer of civilian powers, settlement expansion, establishment of new outposts, expulsion of Palestinian communities, land takeovers, significant infrastructure construction, and changes to land law.
The report demonstrates how these measures function together as part of a unified government policy.
The organizations warn that this policy could seriously jeopardize the chances of a future political agreement.
The report says a total of 185 new settler outposts were established between 2023 and 2025. In addition, 118 Palestinian herding communities were displaced, and at least 223 kilometers of new settler roads were built throughout the West Bank.
The report has been based on extensive research, government documents, public budgetary data, aerial photographs, maps, and field testimonies, and includes findings updated through the first quarter of 2026.
