Israel has appropriated 652 acres of land near the major Jewish settlement of Ma'ale Adumim in the occupied West Bank on Feb. 29, according to multiple sources. Reuters, citing the Israeli Ministry of Defense, confirmed the appropriation but noted that there was no plan for construction on the newly acquired land. This move by Israel's Civil Administration, a branch of the Defence Ministry, has been reported amidst the ongoing conflict over territories captured during the 1967 Middle East war, territories which Palestinians seek for statehood.
