The Israeli Knesset has passed a first reading of a bill that would transfer authority over West Bank antiquities to an Israeli heritage body. Palestinians view this as a further step toward annexation and Judaisation of areas currently under Palestinian Authority control. The legislation is seen as part of broader Israeli efforts to assert control over the occupied West Bank.
