🗺️ IRAN DISPLAYS GUSH DAN TARGET MAP IN TEHRAN AS ISRAEL WARNS U.S. IT MAY STRIKE IRAN UNILATERALLY; SECURITY CABINET APPROVES MAJOR JUDEA AND SAMARIA POLICY SHIFTS
⚠️ IRANIAN MISSILE THREAT SIGNALING: A large banner was displayed in Tehran’s Palestine Square showing a map of potential targets in the Gush Dan area. It also included a Hebrew warning reading: "In the face of a rain of missiles, this is a small area".
‼️ ISRAEL WARNS OF POSSIBLE UNILATERAL STRIKE ON IRAN: Israeli defense officials recently told their U.S. counterparts that Iran’s ballistic missile program represents an "existential threat".
An Israeli defense official said: "We told the Americans we will strike alone if Iran crosses the red line we set on ballistic missiles."
⚖️ SECURITY CABINET APPROVES MAJOR JUDEA AND SAMARIA POLICY CHANGES: Smotrich’s office described the decision as a “historic day for settlement,” saying the Security Cabinet approved steps that change legal and civil frameworks in Judea and Samaria.
The Cabinet ordered the removal of confidentiality on land registries in Judea and Samaria and approved publishing the registries, with the stated goal of increasing transparency, easing land purchases, and reducing fraud.
It also repealed a Jordanian law prohibiting the sale of real estate to Jews. The decision cancels the transaction permit requirement previously managed by the Civil Administration and removes the ban on sales to foreigners, with the stated intent of enabling Jews to purchase land in Judea and Samaria “just as they would in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.” The transaction licensing requirement from the Civil Administration’s Registrar of Land Registration is abolished and replaced with professional eligibility criteria.
▪️ HEBRON PLANNING AUTHORITY AND MUNICIPAL POWERS: After what was described as years of delays by the Palestinian Hebron Municipality, building-permit authority affecting the Jewish community in Hebron, the Cave of the Patriarchs, and other holy sites will be transferred to the Civil Administration’s planning institutions.
In parallel, full municipal powers will be granted to the Hebron Administration to address residents’ needs and manage hazards without reliance on Palestinian municipal mechanisms that were described as requiring complex procedures.
▪️ RACHEL’S TOMB MUNICIPAL SERVICES UPGRADE: Because Rachel’s Tomb lies within Bethlehem’s municipal area, the site was described as lacking basic services. The Cabinet approved establishing a dedicated municipal authority responsible for cleaning, garbage removal, gardening, and routine maintenance.
▪️ EXPANDED ENFORCEMENT IN AREAS A AND B: Inspection and enforcement operations will be expanded into Areas A and B regarding water violations, damage to archaeological sites, and environmental hazards described as affecting the entire region.
▪️ LAND ACQUISITION COMMITTEE TO BE REINSTATED: The Cabinet approved renewing the Land Acquisition Committee, a mechanism that ceased operating about 20 years ago. The stated purpose is to allow the State of Israel to initiate land purchases in Judea and Samaria to secure land reserves for future settlement.
