The Israeli government approved a plan to restart land registration in the occupied West Bank, a move that could allow it to seize land from Palestinians unable to prove ownership, according to Al Jazeera. The announcement comes as the playoff phase of the UEFA Champions League begins, with Benfica facing Real Madrid in Lisbon, Portugal, and Apple is set to host a special event in New York City on March 4th.
The land registration plan, which marks the first time such a process has been undertaken since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967, could significantly impact Palestinians. Protests have already erupted, with displaced Palestinians in the Nur Shams refugee camp demanding the right to return to their homes, as reported by Al Jazeera. The Israeli army has been accused of systematically demolishing houses and altering the camp's structure.
