WorldHow Israel’s ‘Blue Line’ team seizes Palestinian land in the West Bank

A little-known Israeli mapping team is redrawing boundaries in the occupied West Bank as Palestinians face expanding settlement activity. A Palestinian report says the Civil Administration’s Blue Line Team reclassifies land as “state land”, making it available for settlement projects. Israel calls the changes technical corrections, while the UN says they have expanded the area treated as state property. Palestinian residents, including a family in al-Mughayyir, say their farmland and olive trees have been taken and destroyed.
