What does the bill do?
The proposal repeals the Law on Leasing and Selling Immovable Property to Foreigners No. 40 of 1953 and the orders issued under it in the territories of Judea and Samaria. Under the proposal, every Israeli citizen and everyone eligible for aliyah under the Law of Return will be able to purchase and hold rights in real estate in the Area, subject to the other provisions of law. The original Jordanian law was enacted in 1953 and was intended to prevent the purchase of land by foreigners, and after 1967 it was applied mainly to Jews seeking to purchase property in the territory.
