"The Israeli government's decision to approve the land registration process in the occupied West Bank as state property has drawn widespread condemnation from regional countries and international organisations. Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday the measure would enable transparent and thorough clarification of rights to resolve legal disputes and was needed after unlawful land registration in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority (PA)."
"Hamas also denounced the move as an attempt to steal and Judaise lands in the occupied West Bank by registering them as so-called state lands'. It is an attempt to forcibly impose settlement and Judaisation on the ground, in flagrant violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions, it said, calling the Israeli action a null and void decision issued by an illegitimate occupying power."
The Israeli government approved a process to register occupied West Bank lands as state property and to revive land title procedures frozen since 1967. Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the measure aims to clarify rights and resolve legal disputes after alleged unlawful registrations in PA-controlled areas. The Palestinian presidency condemned the move as a grave escalation and a flagrant violation of international law amounting to de facto annexation, and urged international intervention. Hamas denounced the decision as an attempt to steal and Judaise Palestinian land and called it null and void. Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan labeled the move illegal and a threat to the two-state solution.
