Batir and Sair face land expansion
The Israeli occupation authorities announced the classification of 182.81 dunams of land belonging to the towns of Beitir, Sa'ir, and the Shuyukh in the Bethlehem and Hebron districts as state land, with the aim of expanding settlements and legitimizing settlement projects. The first announcement included 64.06 dunams of land in Beitir as part of the "Bar Koopa" project, previously known as "Nahal Heltz," which was approved by the government in June 2024. The second announcement targeted 118.75 dunams of land in Sa'ir and Shuyukh, converting them into a separate settlement in December 2025. These measures illustrate an increasing policy of expansion and settlement that strengthens control over Palestinian lands and undermines their use by the local population, deepening the fragmentation of Palestinian geography and threatening its capacity for natural development.
