Israel seizes land in occupied West Bank: Additional territory to add to Maale Adumim settlement

As Israel plans to expand its al-Azariya settlements, concerns are rising over the displacement of Palestinians, potential job losses, and violations of international law. The move has drawn criticism from human rights groups, who argue that settlement expansion further entrenches Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and undermines the prospects for a two-state solution. The settlement expansion may also exacerbate tensions in an already volatile region and increase the risk of violence.
