Israel expands West Bank state land declaration by 48 acres near Jalud and Al-Mughayyir

Israel's Civil Administration has expanded its 1984 'state land' declaration in the West Bank by 48 acres, with a net addition of 44 acres after redrawing boundaries near Jalud and Al-Mughayyir. The Palestinian commission warns this could facilitate future settlement construction. This continues Israel's pattern of land designation, but the specific expansion signals ongoing territorial consolidation amid stalled peace process.
