German Development Minister Svenja Schulze expressed deep concern on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, over recent Israeli government decisions regarding land laws in the West Bank.
In a press statement, she warned that these measures threaten peace prospects and block the path to a two-state solution. She added that Germany’s development projects supporting Palestinians are now at risk.
Israeli media reported on Sunday, February 8, 2026, that Israel’s security cabinet approved measures making it easier for settlers to purchase land in the occupied West Bank, while granting Israeli authorities broader powers over Palestinians. The Palestinian presidency rejected these decisions.
