In rare move, Israel seizes homes inside Palestinian Authority-controlled part of the West Bank, raising alarms over annexation
A military order signed in May 2026 authorizes Israel’s first permanent base near Jenin inside Area A, the part of the West Bank under control of the Palestinian Authority. Israel has already begun displacing families who live there.
This is a deeply concerning development, and it’s good to see The Palestinian Pulse covering this important story. The expansion of settlements within Area A directly threatens the already fragile situation.
