The Israeli authorities have designated a 1,270-hectare area in the West Bank as state land, the human rights organization Shalom Achshav said.
It was noted the size of the area designated for declaration is the largest over the last three decades.
"The [Israeli] government declared 12,700 dunams at the Jordan Valley state lands...The year 2024 marks a peak in the extent of declarations of state land," the statement reads.
Human rights activists said that land declared as Israel's land is no longer considered privately owned by Palestinians.
The organization said that "a significant part of the area" of 1,270 hectares that was declared state land "was previously defined as a nature reserve, but "today’s announcement completes the Israeli takeover of this area."
This practice was resumed by the first Benjamin Netanyahu government in 1998.
