Israeli settlement Palestinian village: An Israeli settlement expansion threatens a Palestinian UNESCO village, sparking heritage...
On a hillside near Palestinian landowner Olayan Olayan's olive groves, young Israeli settlers are hammering out a new, illegal outpost in a UNESCO-protected zone.
The outpost already has a flagpole, living quarters and a barn for sheep that roam a rocky hill covered by olive trees belonging to Palestinian farmers. "It is a settlement that is going to block Battir and in many ways create tension between the neighbours," he said. The 2,000-year-old dry stone walls supporting the landscape earned the village its cultural inscription in 2014. But the classification has done little to prevent seizures of the surrounding farmland.
"There will be no continuity," said Olayan, leaving only what some observers describe as an archipelago of Palestinian sovereignty.
