Hamas warns of accelerating land confiscation in the West Bank after new Israeli orders.
The Israeli authorities have issued four new military orders targeting lands in the districts of Qalqilya, Nablus, Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley, covering approximately 165 dunams in the northern West Bank. The leader of Hamas, Abdel Rahman Shadid, said that the orders fall within the framework of annexation, Judaization and settlement plans. According to him, the plans are aimed at the Palestinian presence and the lands close to the settlements, and called to escalate the conflict and protect the land and the holy places.
