Israel Announces Plan To Seize Another Chunk of Palestine
Jerusalem: Israel confirmed on Thursday it was planning to appropriate a large tract of fertile land in the occupied West Bank, close to Jordan, a move likely to exacerbate tensions with Western allies and already drawing international condemnation.
In an email sent to Reuters, COGAT, a unit of Israel's Defence Ministry, said the political decision to seize the territory had been taken and “the lands are in the final stages of being declared state lands”.
Settlement activities are a violation of international law and run counter to the public pronouncements of the government of Israel supporting a two-state solution to the conflict
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
The appropriation, covers 154 hectares in the Jordan Valley close to Jericho, an area where Israel already has many settlement farms built on land Palestinians seek for a state. It is the largest land seizure since August 2014.

Seize would indicate that was never zionist property.. it’s called THEFT! Just like they’ve done to the rest of PALESTINE, the zionists are STEALING everything that remains of PALESTINE by any means necessary, including and up to MURDER of the rightful owners, ie the PALESTINIANS!
