WorldHardline Israeli rabbi’s ruling allowing theft of Palestinian olives sparks uproar

Rabbi Dov Lior issued a religious ruling permitting settlers to take olives from Palestinian orchards in the occupied West Bank, arguing that access restrictions had already compensated landowners and that the land belongs to Jews. Palestinians condemned the ruling as attacks on farmers continued. Other rabbis and an Orthodox organization rejected the claim, saying the harvest belongs to its recognized Arab owners.
