Israel Continues to Grab Palestinian Land for Building Illegal Settlements

Israel is also clamping down on any protests against this land grabbing.

Israel has approved construction of nearly 2,000 more illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land in contravention of international law. While continuing to encroach Palestinian lands, Israel is also clamping down on any protests against this land grabbing. In Qalqilya in the Northern West Bank, Israeli security forces on Monday violently attacked a peaceful Palestinian protest march against the forceful seizure of land by Israel for the purpose of construction of illegal Jewish settlement near Qalqilya city.
