Israel’s security cabinet approved multiple measures in February 2026 that transfer land registration authority in West Bank Area C to the Justice Ministry, repeal restrictions on Israeli land purchases, and extend civilian administrative oversight, actions widely described as advancing de facto integration without a formal sovereignty declaration. These steps build on earlier 2025 Knesset resolutions and settlement policies driven by coalition partners seeking permanent control over significant portions of the territory. International responses, including U.S. opposition to explicit annexation and condemnations from multiple states citing international law, have constrained formal moves. Ongoing land designation processes, settlement expansion, and a new Amnesty report on accelerated measures in Area C continue to shape assessments of whether any territory will receive an official annexation declaration by the market’s resolution date.
