Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich described the moves as “normalizing” life for settlers, removing legal barriers, and strengthening Israel’s permanent hold over “Judea and Samaria” - what the extremist right wing in Israel calls the occupied West Bank.

📌 The changes include:

▪️ Repeal of Jordanian-era laws barring the sale of land to Jews, allowing purchases under the same rules used inside Israel

▪️ Declassification and publication of West Bank land registries, facilitating Jewish purchases of Palestinian land

▪️ Elimination of transaction permits and licensing requirements previously imposed by the Civil Administration

▪️ Revival of a long-dormant state land acquisition committee to enable proactive government purchases for settlement expansion

▪️ Expansion of Israeli enforcement and oversight into Areas A and B for water, environmental, and archaeological violations

▪️ Transfer of planning and construction authority in the illegal Jewish settlement in Hebron, including holy sites, directly to the Civil Administration

📍Lebanon | Many families are fleeing their homes, leaving everything behind, paying the heaviest price of ongoing hostilities.

The rules of war are clear: civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget and must be protected.

We asked participants at our national convention what made them come, from all over Israel, to our 10th anniversary event in Haifa. This is what they said.

He earned his place in history as the photographer of civil rights, of the misery of Black ghettos, and of the dignity of those who lived there: Gordon Parks had a unique perspective.
The ‚Paris Noir‘ exhibition, currently at the Centre Pompidou, displays some of his best photos. Highly recommended!
