Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 10:05

TL;DR

The 'Habayta' (Homeward) forum has launched a WhatsApp group calling on Israelis to 'shatter the myth' that Areas A and B in Judea and Samaria are refugee camps and Kasbahs, arguing that 1.3 million dunams of open land there are effectively surrendered to the Palestinian Authority. The group invites the public to join its campaign to change 'the reality on the ground.'

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Habayta (Homeward) forum, an Israeli activist group, has launched a WhatsApp campaign calling on the public to join its effort to 'shatter the myth' about Areas A and B in Judea and Samaria. The group argues that these areas are widely portrayed as 'Kasbahs and refugee camps' but in reality contain 1.3 million dunams of open land that it says are effectively under Palestinian Authority control. The campaign, launched via a WhatsApp group link, invites Israelis to 'change the reality on the ground.' The group's framing aligns with right-of-center settler activism. As The Zioneer noted on June 23, the forum previously launched a broader campaign on this theme. No further details on the group's planned actions or the scope of the campaign are yet available.
