Peace Now : As far as we know, this declaration is unprecedented in its scope since the 1980s and can dramatically change the reality in the Gush Etzion and the Bethlehem areas, it said in a statement. Peace Now views this declaration as proof that Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu does not aspire for a new Diplomatic Horizon, but rather he continues to put obstacles to the two-state vision and promote a one-state solution. By declaring another 4,000 dunams as state land, the Israeli government stabs (Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas) and the moderate Palestinian forces in the back, proving again that violence delivers Israeli concessions while non-violence results in settlement expansion, it said. Peace Now official Hagit Ofran told AFP that the legal basis for such land confiscation was an 1858 ruling by the regions Ottoman rulers.
