The struggle for land has been a key element of the conflict
between Jews and Arabs in Palestine thoughout the past hundred
years, and remains intense to this day. While international
attention focuses on Israeli settlements that have encroached on to
hitherto Arab land in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which lie
legally outside Israel's boundaries, there is another dimension to
the land question, as this book makes clear. Nearly one-fifth of
Israel's population is Palestinian. This book examines the extent
and means by which Israeli land policy today restricts access to
land for these citizens within the 1948 boundaries of the State of
Israel. Its authors - one a Palestinian lawyer and Israeli citizen
practising in Israel, the other a British international human
rights lawyer who worked in Israel for many years - examine the
system of land ownership, the acquisition and administration of
public land, and the control of land use through planning and
housing regulations. What emerges is the extent to which the law is
being used to restrict access to land by Israeli Palestinians and
the discrimination that this entails for those citizens who are not
of Jewish origin. The book argues that domestic and international
law, which should operate to protect Palestinian land rights, have
failed to do so, and that Israeli land policies breach
international legal standards, including human rights norms.
