The management of the JNF's board of directors approved today (Sunday) the change in the land acquisition policy in Judea and Samaria, which extends the purchase areas to designated areas of isolated settlements.

In February, the JNF management approved in principle the change of policy and a budget of NIS 38 million to be allocated for the purchase of land in the territories. The original decision set priority areas and excluded the Nablus and Jenin area from the decision. The updated decision at today's meeting cancels this exception, but states that The JNF will only purchase private land with a preference for expanding existing settlements.

The JNF's intention to make a change in official policy and start purchasing land in the territories was first revealed in Walla! After years in which the JNF explicitly refrained from operating in the West Bank and operated through subsidiaries, which purchased land and transferred budgets on its behalf.

At the last Zionist Congress held in October, the right gained a majority in the national institutions, and the new chairman of the JNF, Avraham Duvdevani, began immediately with his choice of actions to change policy.
