Occupation Seized Over 29,000 Dunams as State Land
The Resistance Commission for the Wall and Settlements reports that since October 7, 2023, and up to August 2026, Israeli occupying authorities targeted approximately 29,335 dunams of Palestinian land through announcements to convert them into "state lands," marking the largest land grab campaign since the Oslo Accords. These announcements include plans to expand settlements and connect them to other settlement clusters, with a focus on projects to link settlements and develop outposts. In 2024, the largest share—approximately 24,597 dunams—of the declared areas was targeted, while in 2025, around 1,925 dunams were affected. Up to August 2026, these announcements targeted about 2,312 dunams. The report views these measures as practical steps to take control of the land, aiming to establish an ongoing settler corridor, facilitate the conversion of outposts into ready-to-expand settlements, and control geographic passages linking Palestinian communities. The Authority considers these policies to be illegal under international law.
