Israel is set to restart a contentious land registration process in the West Bank, a move criticized by Palestinians and various international entities as a de facto annexation of Palestinian territory. The Israeli cabinet has approved measures to designate parts of the West Bank as state land, prompting reactions from neighboring countries and international organizations. Palestinian leaders and activists have condemned the policy, asserting it undermines the prospect of a future Palestinian state and increases Israeli control over the occupied area. The UN Secretary-General and various Arab and Muslim nations have expressed strong opposition, stating that this policy violates international law and exacerbates tension in the region. Critics argue that these actions represent a significant step towards solidifying Israeli claims over the West Bank, heightening fears among Palestinians of impending annexation amidst ongoing conflicts.
