"The text of the two orders stated that they were issued by Yossi Segal..., to approve a temporary decision on government lands for the purpose of grazing.

Recently, #Israeli settlers have seized large areas of land in the #WestBank under the pretext of grazing their livestock. To impose de facto control, they release cows and sheep into the plains and mountains, control them, and prevent #Palestinians from reaching them.

Pastoral settlement constitutes one of the most serious challenges to Palestinians looking to preserve their land."

You can only "confiscate" land to which you have a legal claim.

What Israel is in fact doing is stealing that land.

I would have also allowed annexing.
