Israel's Attorney General and the Legal Advisor to the Israeli Government Yehuda Weinstein has approved the Israeli state plans to apply the law on the so-called abandoned Palestinian properties in East of Al Quds (Jerusalem) which means that Israel can "legally" take over thousands of acres and buildings worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Israel will implement the Absentee Property Law by confiscating lands and properties of Palestinians in East Jerusalem as it did with the properties left behind by Palestinians who fled in 1948.
