A sign reading "State land, no trespassing" is seen near the Palestinian village of Jab'a, west of Bethlehem on September 10. Days after a ceasefire was reached in the war in Gaza last month, Israel announced that 400 hectares (988 acres) west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, was now "state land" - that is territory for Israel, not land that will be part of any future Palestinian state.  Reuters/Baz Ratner
