Israel is set to seize a large tract of fertile 
land in the occupied West Bank. According to 
Israeli Defense Ministry, the political decision 
has been already made and the territory is – 
quote – “in the final stages of being declared 
state lands”. The appropriation would cover 380 
acres in the Jordan Valley – an area, where 
Palestinians seek for a state. Israel has already 
build settlements on those lands, and Jewish 
settlers have for long farmed the territory under 
Israeli civilian and military control. 
Palestinian officials were quick to denounce 
Israel’s decision, calling it a violation of 
international law. Palestinians seek the 
recognition of their independent state in the 
West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as 
the capital, which is opposed by Israel. U.N. 
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also condemned the 
move, saying that it ran counter to the public 
pronouncements of the Israeli government. John 
Dugard, Professor Emeritus at the University of 
Leiden and former Special Rapporteur to Human 
Rights Council on Human rights in Occupied 
Palestinian Territory, told Radio Sputnik, the 
U.N. is unlikely to take any action against Israel’s move.
