Palestinian sources report that Israel has confiscated nearly 50,000 dunams of Palestinian land since the Oslo Accords in 1993. This reported confiscation of 24,000 dunams represents a substantial escalation, equivalent to nearly half of the total land confiscated over the past 23 years.
The Hebrew Channel 14 stated that this step is expected to bring about a significant change in favor of strengthening Israel's control over the West Bank.
