Israel's West Bank land registration draws global backlash

Israel's government has approved a plan to register land in the occupied West Bank for the first time since 1967, with critics calling it a 'mega land grab' that speeds up annexation. Countries like Türkiye, Egypt, Qatar, and Jordan have condemned it as illegal under international law, saying it undermines peace and Palestinian rights. The move focuses on Area C, which makes up 60% of the West Bank and is under Israeli control, sparking concerns about displacement and settlement expansion. https://www.trtworld.com/article/e69b8cfaaaf5
