On Wednesday 3rd April, the Israeli authorities informed a Palestinian farmer from the village of Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, of its intention to take over his private-owned land for the benefit of settlement expansion, according to a local activist.

Head of the village's council Jamal Najajreh told Palestinian official news agency WAFA that Ali Fnoon found notices on his three dunums of land, located just off of the settlement of Daniel, built illegally on villager's land, ordering him to evacuate it in order to seize it.

The land was recently rehabilitated and planted with olive trees and almonds

The notices, he said, gave the farmer 45 days to file a petition against the order at Israeli courts.
