Israel Makes Largest Land Grab In West Bank In 30 Years

Peace Now said authorities recently approved the appropriation of 12.7 square kilometres of land in the Jordan Valley. The group's data indicates it was the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo accords at the start of the peace process.
