Palestinian Mohammed Aabda, plants his land near the Israeli settlement of Gush Etzion, southern the West Bank city of Bethlehem, on April 22, 2015. Aabda and his family moved to live and plant his land outside the city of Bethlehem, to protect it expropriation for settlements construction. Over the years, Israel has used a number of illegal and bureaucratic procedures, like declaring of state lands, in order to appropriate West Bank lands, with the primary objective of establishing settlements, Israel has managed to take over about 50% of the lands in the West Bank, barring the local Palestinian public from using them.
