Israel loosens West Bank land-transfer rules
Why it matters

Declassifying land registry records changes access to ownership and claims data, enabling faster identification and pursuit of parcels for purchase or legal challenge. The steps shift the administrative baseline in the occupied territory without a formal annexation vote, tightening constraints on Palestinian land control.
