The Arab League has condemned Israel's decision to convert lands in the West Bank into "state property".
In a statement, the league highlighted that the decision is considered a flagrant violation of international law and legitimate resolutions.
It affirmed that Israel's actions are a unilateral and invalid measure aimed at paving the way for the annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The league warned that such policies threaten the security and stability of the region, calling on the international community, especially the United Nations' Security Council, to prevent such actions.
The statement was released following Israel's cabinet approval of further measures to tighten its control over the occupied West Bank and make it easier for settlers to buy land, a move Palestinians called a "de-facto annexation", according to Reuters.
