IACA Report: Israel Seeks to Alter the Visual, Political, and Security Identity of the Occupied Territories

Israel’s New Measures Aim to Redefine the Occupied Territory

The International Academic Campaign Against Israeli Occupation and Apartheid releases a major report analyzing Israel’s latest policies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, warning that they seek to fundamentally alter the visual, political, and security identity of the occupied territories.

The report finds that these measures go beyond reinforcing control. They are part of a systematic strategy to transform a temporary occupation into a permanent regime—reshaping landscapes, undermining international law, and imposing comprehensive security domination.

By situating these actions within an apartheid framework, the report demonstrates how visual change, legal erosion, and militarized governance converge to erase Palestinian presence and foreclose the possibility of a sovereign Palestinian state.
