State Land Registration in East Jerusalem Continues to Advance Settlement Goals, Dispossess Palestinians
The article discusses Israel's ongoing Settlement of Land Title (SOLT) initiative in East Jerusalem, which began in 2018 after being frozen since 1967. This process is criticized by the Israeli NGO Ir Amim as a means to dispossess Palestinians and further Jewish settlement in the area, violating international law. Despite being officially framed as a socioeconomic development plan, the SOLT is seen as part of a broader political agenda to solidify Israeli control. Recent updates show significant advancements in land registration, often favoring settlement organizations, raising concerns about transparency and the rights of Palestinian residents.
