B'Tselem's response to Regulation Bill: a semblance of legality to ongoing plunder

Published:

6 Feb 2017

The law passed by the Knesset today proves yet again that Israel has no intention of ending its control over the Palestinians or its theft of their land.

Lending a semblance of legality to this ongoing act of plunder is a disgrace for the state and its legislature.

Passing the bill mere weeks after UN Security Council Resolution 2334 is a slap in the face of the international community.

While enshrining the dispossession in law is a new development, in practice it is another facet of the massive land grab carried out openly for decades by declaring "state land".
