Israeli state uses security as an excuse to dispossess Palestinian landholders. Security is key rationalization for private property ownership that Jeremy Bentham gives us. There's quite a fragmented legal regime where at least from the perspective of lawyers in the west bank there's often been a focus on international law and the law of occupation. Suhaad Bhichara has written a brilliant PhD dissertation on the dispossession of Palestinians through land law That really reveals how that is a unified project so on the face of it we have different legal regimes but underlying that I think there's quite a unified use of land law emergency powers etc to to disposses Palestinians.
