Pakistan has strongly condemned Israel's recent decision to register areas of the West Bank as 'state property.' The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the move "unlawful" and "destabilising." The decision, approved late Sunday, aims to clarify land rights but has drawn global criticism for breaching international law. Pakistan's Foreign Office said the action violates multiple UN resolutions and urged the international community to reject the measure. "Pakistan calls on the international community to take concrete measures to end Israeli impunity, and ensure respect for international law," the spokesperson said. Arab nations including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and Jordan also denounced the step. Saudi Arabia warned it could "undermine peace efforts," while Jordan's King Abdullah II said it threatens to worsen the conflict. The European Union called on Israel to reverse the policy, labeling annexation "illegal under international law." The Palestinian Authority urged international intervention to stop the "de facto beginning of the annexation process." Israeli watchdog Peace Now described the step as a "mega land grab," arguing it would harm Palestinians' land claims. The West Bank is crucial for Palestinians' hopes for statehood, while many Israeli settlers aim to control the territory. The UN rights chief Volker Turk said Israel's actions are "rapid steps to change permanently the demography of the occupied Palestinian territory." Meanwhile, Israeli police announced heavy deployments around the Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, limiting permits for West Bank Palestinians to visit. The Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate said permits would be restricted mainly to men over 55. More than 500,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements considered illegal by international law. Around three million Palestinians live in the occupied territory since 1967. The new Israeli land policy has escalated tensions in the region amid already volatile conditions.
