East Jerusalem land declared state land
The Resistance Committee against the Separation Wall and Settlements revealed that the Israeli occupation authorities have issued a new declaration aimed at targeting 370.28 dunams of land in Abu Dis and Arab al-Sawahira in the Jerusalem Governorate, under the label of "State Properties," to classify them as lands under the responsibility of the "Guardian of State Properties." This announcement comes as part of a plan to expand the "Mishmar Yisrael" settlement, which the Israeli government plans to establish and which will include approximately 3,600 housing units, thereby reinforcing the geographical separation between Jerusalem and the West Bank and limiting Palestinian expansion in the area. The declaration is part of a series of previous announcements targeting areas in Abu Dis and al-Eizariya, emphasizing the classification of Palestinian lands as "State Properties" to pave the way for settlement projects. This poses a threat to Palestinian communities such as the Menatar Bedouin gathering, which is considered a significant territorial, environmental, and cultural site. At the same time, the announcement presents an opportunity to object within a 45-day period. However, the ongoing policy of settlement expansion continues to hinder prospects for a two-state solution and increases the spread of colonization east of Jerusalem.
