Seizing privately owned Palestinian land in the name of “security” in the Jordan Valley, the  most fertile part of the West Bank.  A bureaucratic paper filled procedure that means eviction for Palestinians to make way for a new barrier and these notices issues earlier this month are just the beginning.

Of course there are plans to build Israeli Jewish only settlements along the planned military road and for farmers on the wrong side, they will no longer be able to access water.  This is a land grab to push more and more Palestinians out of the Jordan Valley.
