Security cabinet okays ‘dramatic’ Judea and Samria policy overhaul, deepening Israeli control
Peloni: The political-security cabinet approved a sweeping set of decisions which significantly level the legal, civil, and land-administration framework overseeing the governance in Judea & Samaria. The measures, formulated under the leadership of the Settlement Administration within the Defense Ministry, are designed to dismantle longstanding legal barriers, repeal anti-Jewish Jordanian-era laws, and streamline procedures related to land registration and property transactions. Central to the overhaul is the opening of land registries to public access and the removal of special permit requirements for land purchases, steps intended to place real estate activity in Judea and Samaria on a footing closer to that of a sovereign Israel while also facilitating accelerated development of Jewish settlement. The decisions also expand Israeli enforcement authority in areas such as construction oversight, water regulation, environmental protection, and archaeology, and transfer responsibility for certain sensitive sites and planning decisions from PA or mixed frameworks to Israeli defense authorities. This is a long-overdue (nearly 70-years overdue) normalization of Israeli governance in the Jewish heartland and a deepening of Israel’s sovereignty and control over the land.
