The payment deadline is May 23, 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1143\">Observers labeled this court ruling as the first of its kind in the occupied West Bank and a clear sign of the beginning of Israel&#8217;s annexation of Palestinian lands in Masafer Yatta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1319\">This comes after the Israeli Knesset approved legislation to annex Palestinian lands in the South Hebron Hills and Masafer Yatta, integrating them into the Negev.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1576\">Previously, Israeli authorities had ordered residents to demolish their own homes, another move widely condemned as a dangerous precedent.
