In May 2025, Smotrich gained cabinet approval for Israel’s first-ever land registration drive in the West Bank, a process that formally maps, verifies, and records ownership claims, and reclassifies any land without official documentation as belonging to the state. The campaign functions as a legal mechanism for large-scale dispossession, enabling Israel to claim vast areas of Palestinian-held land that were never formally registered, largely because Israel froze the process in 1968. The same cabinet decision declared the PA’s parallel registration efforts legally void, instructed Israeli forces to block Palestinian officials and surveyors from the field, and ordered the IDF, Shin Bet, and Mossad to gather intelligence on funding for the project so the Finance Ministry could deduct those amounts from tax revenues owed to the PA.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
