RAMALLAH, (PIC)--

Illegal Israeli settlers continue to seize and build on land owned by Palestinians in the West Bank in light of the cover-up provided by Palestine’s de facto president Mahmoud Abbas for Israeli settlement activity through direct peace talks with Israel launched early this month.

A group of settlers seized on Thursday more land in the north West Bank district of Nablus and began works near the south Nablus village of Jalud in preparation to farm on the land.

Approximately 30 dunums of land north of Jalud was seized near the Ahya and Kida settlement outposts.

In a separate incident, settlers attacked Thursday morning the south Nablus village of Asira Qabaliya and set fire to straw used as food for livestock.

Villagers said they saw a car of settlers heading for a nearby settlement leave the scene after the fire ignited.
