NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The West Bank is a disputed territory that has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967, with issues of land ownership and control being highly contentious. Archaeological sites in the region are often seen as holding significant cultural and historical value for both Israelis and Palestinians, and have been a focal point for competing claims and narratives. The use of archaeology in the region has previously been criticised for being politicised, with some arguing it is used to justify Israeli settlement expansion and undermine Palestinian connections to the land.
