Tracking Annexation

This database compiles and documents measures and initiatives advanced by Israel in the West Bank between 2023 and 2026 that have annexationist features or elements. Some involve legal or administrative changes; others establish facts on the ground. They include legislation, government and Security Cabinet decisions, and the transfer of powers from the military government to Israel’s political leadership. The database also covers steps to expand the settlement enterprise and deepen Israeli control over the occupied territory through planning and construction, infrastructure development, budget allocations, land and natural resource takeovers, and violence by the military and settlers. Individually and collectively, these measures deepen and entrench Israeli control over the occupied territory, creating a reality of de facto annexation in violation of international law.

The database is updated periodically with additional measures and new information, but does not purport to cover all measures with annexationist features undertaken during this period.
