The Israeli occupation authorities have announced the seizure of 19 dunums of land in the western valley area west of the village of Beit Amin in Qalqilya, with the aim of building 66 new settlement units belonging to the settlement of "Oranit."
Mohammed Abu al-Sheikh, an official with the Settlement File in Qalqilya province, said that the Israeli "civil administration" in Beit El had published maps that included the land owned by citizens of the villages of Sineria and Azzun al-Atma, which lies within the wall.
He explained that this decision would be pursued legally with a view to challenging and abolishing it, and the Civil Administration and the Council of Settlements had taken advantage of the existence of the confiscated land within the borders of the Settlement of Oranit, with the aim of seizing it and building settlement units.
He noted that the construction of settlement units and the razing of the village behind the wall confirmed that the racist wall would annex all the land behind it to the neighbouring settlements, despite the fact that the occupation was declared to be areas under the authority of nature and the environment.Mohammed Abu al-Sheikh, an official with the Settlement File in Qalqilya province, said that the Israeli "civil administration" in Beit El had published maps that included the land owned by citizens of the villages of Sineria and Azzun al-Atma, which lies within the wall.
