The Israeli army has decided to annex lands from the Palestinian villages of Husan and Nahhalin, near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. The decision, sighed by Noam Tibon, the general Israeli military commander in the occupied West Bank, states that Israel will annex more than 24 Dunams of Palestinian lands. The lands would be used for the expansion of Gush Atzion settlement bloc which was build on Palestinian lands annexed from its owners west of Bethlehem and north of Hebron. Khalid Al Azza stated that this land grab order is part of the "greater Jerusalem" Israeli plan which aims at illegally annexing more Palestinian lands, expand settlements on them and expand the Jerusalem boundaries in order to void any furture peace talks on Jerusalem. So far, the Greater Jerusalem Plan has annexed 72.000 Dunams, most of them agricultural lands, while Israel is still attempting to annex more lands while the international commmunity remains idle.
