Palestinian Farmer Daoud Nassar Has Fought for Decades for His Farm Near Bethlehem
Daoud Nassar, a Palestinian farmer, has fought for 35 years to register his 42-hectare farm near Bethlehem, located in Area C of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Despite possessing ownership documents dating back over a century, Israeli authorities declared the land state property in 1991. Legal disputes continue, with Israel citing translation errors and security concerns. Settlements and outposts, considered illegal under international law, surround the farm. Israeli body COGAT claims construction there violates military orders, but did not address questions on land ownership or ongoing legal cases.
