Military decisions to seize lands for the benefit of colonization east of Qalqilya.

The Israeli occupation authorities issued today two military orders to seize land from the village of Jinsafout east of Qalqilya, reflecting the ongoing policy of settlement and aggression against Palestinian lands.

The first order targets the seizure of about 16 dunams to pave new colonial roads, aiming to connect the settlement of 'Yakir' with the settlement of 'Qarni Shmron.'

The second order aims to connect the settlement of 'Immanuel' with the settlement of 'Qarni Shmron,' thereby enhancing the network of bypass roads that serve the settlements at the expense of Palestinian lands.

These decisions are a blatant violation of the rights of Palestinians, as they will deprive about 150 farmers of access to their agricultural lands, even if they obtain permits from the occupation authorities.

The occupation authorities rely on flimsy arguments, claiming that the lands are adjacent to colonial roads that are prohibited to approach, which exacerbates the suffering of Palestinian farmers.

These policies continue to promote settlement, threatening the future of Palestinian lands and complicating the situation in the region.
