Dangerous colonial occupation': Israel's digital West Bank land register
A controversial Israeli plan to digitally register property ownership in the occupied West Bank is condemned as a dangerous colonial step. The Palestinian Land Authority, the Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate, and the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission urge Palestinians not to engage with Israeli entities, committees, platforms, or procedures related to lands and property. Israel is reported to have launched an online Land Registry and Settlement of Rights platform intended to update property ownership in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian officials call for international action to stop the procedures and hold Israel accountable for ongoing violations of Palestinian land and resources. The CRRC says the move shifts occupation from field control to digital and administrative engineering to impose permanent legal realities. The Jerusalem Governorate links the plan to broader efforts to complete legal and administrative annexation through full land registration under Israeli authority.
"A controversial Israeli plan to digitally register property ownership in the occupied West Bank is a dangerous colonial occupation step that represents a direct assault on the historical and legal rights of the Palestinian people to their land and property, the Palestinian Land Authority has said."
"The Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate and the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission (CRRC) have urged Palestinians in the West Bank not to engage with any Israeli entities, committees, platforms, or procedures of lands and property."
"Israel reportedly launched the online Land Registry and Settlement of Rights platform on which it plans to update property ownership in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday this week."
"Moayad Shaaban, head of the CRRC, which is part of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said the move reveals the occupation's transition from traditional policies of field control to digital and administrative colonial engineering aimed at imposing permanent legal realities on the occupied Palestinian territory."
