A storm in the Palestinian Authority following the exclusive publication in "Israel Today" on the direction of Defense Minister Naftali Bennett to transfer the land registry in Judea and Samaria from the IDF to the Ministry of Justice.
The Palestinian minister responsible for monitoring the settlements, Walid Assaf, announced on Saturday that a meeting will be held with representatives from ten Palestinian government ministries to make recommendations to the Palestinian leadership on the necessary political measures.
At the same time, Hamas spokesman Abd al-Latif al-Qa'un expressed resentment at Defense Minister Bennett's move. "His decision is a war crime against our land and against human rights as part of Israel's continued activity to annex territories in the Judea and Samaria area," al-Qa'anu claimed.
He said, "We must oppose and deal with Israeli crimes by all possible means to thwart their plans, to prosecute Israeli leaders in international law, and to stop security coordination."
