Overview
- Amnesty International says Israeli authorities have, since December 2025, intensified measures to dispossess Palestinians and make annexation effectively irreversible.
- On 15 February 2026, the cabinet allocated about 244 million NIS to create a mechanism transferring Area C land registration from the civil administration to the Ministry of Justice.
- On 10 December 2025, the Israel Land Authority tendered 3,401 housing units in E1, with a bypass road due to start this month, a plan Amnesty says would split the West Bank and trigger forcible transfers.
- On 11 December 2025, Israel’s security cabinet approved 19 new settlements, bringing this coalition’s approvals to 68 and total official settlements to about 210, with roughly 750,000 settlers in the West Bank including East Jerusalem.
- Further steps include a 5 January declaration of 694 dunams as state land and 8 February measures easing settlers’ land purchases and expanding Israeli authority in parts of Areas A and B, alongside documented spikes in state-backed settler violence and community displacements.
