Israel declares thousands of dunams near Tubas and Jenin 'state land', Palestinians say

Palestinian sources report that Israeli authorities have declared thousands of dunams in the northern West Bank, around Tubas and Jenin, as state land — which residents say strips farmers of their fields and clears the way for settlement expansion. We are seeking the Israeli authorities' account of the move.

⏳ One side so far — awaiting the other. We've published the account below while we seek a response from the other side. If and when it comes, we'll add it here and move this into its section.
Palestinian sources

Palestinian outlets report a large-scale land seizure around Tubas and Jenin, framing it as part of a drive to expand settlements and tighten control over the northern West Bank at the expense of local farmers and landowners.

US and Iran trade direct strikes, then Trump says a peace deal is near: breakthrough, or 'boy who cried wolf'?

After a second straight day of US-Iran strikes — Iran hitting American bases in Jordan and the Gulf, the US striking back inside Iran — Trump abruptly called off further threatened strikes on June 11 and declared a peace deal is close, saying the Strait of Hormuz will reopen 'as soon as' the two sides sign. Washington frames it as a diplomatic breakthrough secured through pressure; Tehran says it struck back and will not be coerced, and skeptics note Trump's repeated, unfulfilled deal claims.

US strike on an oil tanker off Oman kills three Indian sailors: civilian shipping attacked, or a blockade enforced?

Three Indian sailors were killed when US forces struck the tanker Settebello off the coast of Oman on June 11, amid the widening US-Iran war over the Strait of Hormuz. India lodged a rare formal protest and summoned a senior US diplomat, demanding an end to attacks on commercial shipping; US Central Command says its forces warned the crew before firing on a vessel that was trying to run Iranian oil through a US naval blockade.
