State land loss fuels displacement profits
An investigation into the exploitation of state lands in Gaza during the war revealed that some influential individuals took advantage of the population's displacement to impose financial demands on the displaced persons in exchange for allowing them to set up tents or lease state lands. This led to the unlawful seizure of vast areas of land without legal justification. Testimonies indicate that some of these violators profited significantly, demanding amounts ranging from 200 to 1,000 shekels per month. The Land Authority issued more than 300 notices to violators and has begun legal procedures to reclaim public funds and halt these practices, which thrived due to weak oversight during the war. Palestinian law sanctions trespass on state lands with imprisonment for more than ten years, emphasizing that exploiting displacement circumstances does not exempt individuals from legal responsibility. The relevant authorities are working to organize and enforce legal measures to combat this phenomenon and restore rights.
