NEW | Israel’s settlers and army crushed Palestine’s 2025 olive harvest. Farmers were barred from their groves, hit with 167 settler attacks, and locked out of 25,000 dunams. Output collapsed to just 7–8k tonnes — the worst in decades — deepening hardship and accelerating land theft.

This has *nothing* to do with judicial reviews preventing housing projects.
It's down to government ideology, ie that the private market is the solution to the housing shortage, when all past experience shows that only *public* housing will solve it.
