Israeli army orders confiscation of Palestinian land
in West Bank

The Israeli army has ordered the seizure of
Palestinian land surrounding four West Bank villages
apparently in order to hugely expand settlements
around Jerusalem, it emerged yesterday.
The confiscation happened as Israeli and Palestinian
negotiators met to prepare the ground for a meeting
hosted by President George Bush in the United States
aimed at reviving a diplomatic solution to the
conflict.
However, critics said the confiscation of land
suggested that Israel was imposing its own solution on
the Palestinians through building roads, barriers and
settlements that would render a Palestinian state
unviable.
The land seized forms a corridor from East Jerusalem
to Jericho and is intended to be used for a road that
would be for Palestinians only. Analysts said the road
would run on one side of the Israeli security barrier,
while the existing Jerusalem-Jericho road would be
reserved for Israelis.
