Reports indicate the temporary closure of Land Authority offices in Gaza following leaks regarding irregularities in land sales allegedly orchestrated by the head of the Land Authority in the Hamas-led government, Counselor Imad Al-Baz.
Occupied Gaza:
Local sources are circulating reports that Land Authority offices have been closed for several days amidst allegations of irregularities regarding land sales in the Mawasi areas of Rafah and Khan Yunis—developments coinciding with a notable recent surge in land prices.
According to circulating information, these events have sparked anxiety among displaced persons living in tents in the aforementioned areas, following claims that individuals are demanding residents vacate their sites within a week, citing land ownership rights. Accusations have been leveled against Dr. Imad Al-Baz, the head of the Land Authority in the Gaza government, alleging his involvement in these sales and noting that he is facing investigation regarding specific aspects of the matter. It is worth noting that Al-Baz is considered a close associate of Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza. Could this be linked to plans for designated “cities”—under military supervision—intended to serve as enclaves for the population? The truth will come to light sooner rather than later.
