Digitally annexing the West Bank: Israel moves its theft of Palestinian land online

Israel has taken a significant step in its long-standing policy of land appropriation by introducing a digital registry that claims de facto sovereignty over 60% of the West Bank. This new system requires Palestinians to register their land under Israeli authority or risk losing their property, yet the legal framework is deliberately crafted to undermine any valid claims they might make. This move amplifies the ongoing struggle for Palestinian land rights and underscores the broader conflict's digital dimensions, raising questions about international law and digital sovereignty.
