The decision by the Israeli government concerning the occupied West Bank is “going to be devastating”, says Muhammad Dahle, a human rights lawyer. “They basically are actually annexing the West Bank … They’re allowing now Israeli citizens, normal Israeli citizens, to go and purchase land in the West Bank,” Dahle told Al Jazeera, speaking from occupied East Jerusalem. Common citizens will soon be able to set up private settlement initiatives, whereas in the past, up until now and since 1967, an Israeli citizen needed to go through the lengthy process of setting up a company and obtaining a permit, the lawyer explained.
