Palestinian legal efforts have succeeded in frustrating an Israeli attempt to appropriate a vast tract of Palestinian-owned land in Salfit province for settlement expansion purposes.
Waleed Assaf head of the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said on Thursday that the commission’s legal crew was able to foil an Israeli attempt to seize 37 dunums of land in Khelat Hassan area in Biddya town west of Salfit.
There are more than 25 illegal settlements and outposts in Salfit and the Israeli occupation authority always plans to expand them through annexing more lands.
