RAMALLAH, June 29, 2026 (WAFA) – The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission warned on Monday of the danger posed by media reports revealing a colonial settlement plan aimed at seizing around 100 strategic locations within Area A of the West Bank, describing it as a qualitative shift in the colonial project intended to undermine Palestinian geography and accelerate annexation measures.

Head of the Commission, Minister Mu’ayyad Shaaban, said the plan, led by colonization groups including the “Colonization Farms Union,” comes in the context of current Israeli government policy to impose de facto annexation and consolidate control over the occupied Palestinian Territory, stressing that these groups no longer function as pressure groups but have become direct partners in decision-making, receiving political, administrative, and security support to advance their agenda.

He added that the Israeli government is working to fragment Palestinian geography and isolate cities, villages, and communities from one another, noting that targeting Area A, which under agreements falls under Palestinian civil and security control, constitutes a direct violation of existing arrangements and an attempt to impose a new reality.

Shaaban explained that the transition of colonization schemes from a stage of pressure and influence to one of formal implementation reflects and helps explain the escalation of colonists’ attacks, the expansion of colonization outposts, and ongoing attempts to seize strategic areas in the West Bank.

He called on the international community and legal and human rights institutions to assume their responsibilities and take practical measures to halt these policies, warning that continued international silence would encourage the erosion of international law and UN resolutions and render annexation and fragmentation plans a fait accompli that would be difficult to reverse.
