According to official data, every year Civil Administration tears down between 200-250 structures. So even if you hear of the odd demolition, it’s like a drop in the sea. PA is carrying out mass, rapid, illegal construction, changing the map by creating facts on the ground.
Looking at the number of illegal structures doesn’t tell the full story, however. While Israeli-Jewish construction is often ‘upwards’, the Palestinian-Arab construction tends to be ‘sideways’ – in other words, spreading over huge swathes of land.
In 2009, Israeli construction covered 47,327 dunams in Area C, while Palestinian construction sprawled over 44,495 dunams.
By 2019, number of dunams covered by Israeli construction increased slightly to 56,700 while Palestinian construction was over 78,500 (!) dunams.

🔔🔔 We are up against huge, EU-funded, PA-orchestrated efforts to steal more & more land in Area C, the section of Judea & Samaria under full Israeli jurisdiction. In line with the Fayyad plan that was devised in 2009, the takeover is methodical, strategic, & effective.
Israel can win this battle; but it must change its mindset & understand that this is about the future of our ancestral homeland. We call on the Israeli gov't to prevent the establishment of a de-facto Palestinian terror state in Israel’s heartland!
