The Palestinian Authority's Land Authority has frozen all land registration processes linked to Arab Israelis and East Jerusalem Arabs following the recent sale of eight properties in Jericho to Jewish buyers. The decision, effective until further notice, appears to stem from suspicion that Arab Israelis may have been involved in facilitating the sale. This move is seen as an explicit acknowledgment that the PA has previously prevented property transactions with Jews while permitting them for non-Jewish Israelis, a policy described by the article as religious discrimination.
The article questions how this policy would be defined by the European Union, asking if it constitutes apartheid or antisemitism and whether EU laws permit funding entities that engage in proven religious discrimination. The sale of the eight homes in Jericho to Jewish individuals has reportedly caused significant upheaval within the Palestinian Authority.
