The Palestinian Authority held a ceremony on Sunday, planting some 2,000 olive trees on Israeli state land, in IDF Training Ground 203.
The event was filmed,
photographed and publicized by Fatah – affiliated Radio Zeituna and on social
media. Armed Palestinian Police officers were among those in attendance, and
were filmed as they entered the IDF firing zone – despite the fact that are
prohibited from entering Area C, the section of Judea and Samaria under Israeli
jurisdiction pursuant to the Oslo Accords.
This event is one
element of a large-scale project that has taken shape over the past several
years, in which the Palestinian Authority has planted millions of trees as a
means of illegally seizing control of thousands of dunams in Area C.
The PA’s “agricultural
annexation” focuses on land adjacent to roadways, surrounding Jewish
communities, as well as state land – particularly in locations that are of high
strategic and political importance.
These projects are
supported by massive European funding, and the targeted
locations are chosen with care to serve a clear and publicly-declared purpose:
changing the map, by creating facts on the ground – and all within spitting
distance of Rosh HaAyin and Gush Dan.
This is never reported
in the international media
