Israel has decided to resume the land registration process in the occupied West Bank for the first time since 1967, allowing for the dispossession and displacement of Palestinians, according to Israeli rights groups.

Despite opposition from local human rights groups and a rejection by Israel’s Supreme Court, the government continues to push forward with the process, in violation of international law.
