During Ramadan, Ghassan Abdel Basset and family left home to visit relatives, only to find their house in Hebron occupied by Israeli settlers claiming purchase rights. The family, asserting their ownership and having never sold the home, faced obstruction from the Israeli army when trying to return. This incident highlights ongoing issues of illegal settlements in the West Bank, where over 750,000 settlers reside. Rights groups indicate that tactics include vandalism and legal manipulations to shift property rights from Palestinians to settlers.
Ghassan Abdel Basset expressed frustration, stating, 'the settlers claim they bought the house from someone, but nobody gave this person the legal right to sell our house.'
He emphasized, 'God willing, we will follow the legal procedures [in Israel], and the law will take its course,' highlighting a commitment to pursuing justice.
An analysis revealed, 'more than 750,000 Israeli settlers live in illegal settlements in the West Bank,' demonstrating the widespread nature of the settlement issue.
The report indicated, 'Israeli settlers currently control 14 percent of Palestinian land in the West Bank,' underscoring the scale of land confiscation.
