The 50th anniversary of Land Day, commemorating the confiscation of vast tracts of Palestinian land in 1976, sparked protests and deaths of six Palestinians and hundreds of others. Abdul Rahman Azzam, a 65-year-old farmer from the West Bank, recently had to remove his olive trees from his land following a decision by Israel to confiscate it for the construction of a road for an illegal Israeli settlement. The land, which covers more than 513 dunams, was 450 of which belonged to the village of al-Fandaqumiya. Since October 2023, Israel has been issuing confiscation orders for Palestinian lands in Area C in the occupied West Bank in preparation for implementing its annexation plan, which Palestinians believe is already being implemented.
