Israel's security cabinet approved measures that ease the purchase of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers and broaden Israeli enforcement powers in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the decision dangerous, illegal and tantamount to de facto annexation and urged US President Donald Trump and the UN Security Council to intervene.
