JAKARTA - The Palestinian Presidency condemned the Israeli government's decision to openly annex occupied territory.
Israel will register most of the occupied West Bank as state "property".
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the Palestinian presidency described Israel's actions against this occupied territory as a "serious escalation".
The Palestinians asserted that Israel's move was a clear violation of the signed agreement and was clearly in contravention of the UN Security Council resolution.
The proposal to illegally seize Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank came from Israel's right-wing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz last week.
The Israeli government on Sunday WIB then approved the proposal, which will be the first since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967.
Most of the Palestinian territories are not officially registered because the process is long and complicated, and was stopped by Israel in 1967.
Land registration establishes permanent ownership. International law states that the power of occupation - as Israel has done in the West Bank of the Palestinian territory - cannot confiscate or annex occupied land.
