Israel Begins Sell-off of Refugees’ Land/Privatisation to Subvert Palestinian Hopes of Restitution

According to international law, Israel holds the property of more than 4 million Palestinian refugees in custodianship, until a final peace deal determines whether some or all of them will be allowed back to their 400+ destroyed villages or compensated for their loss. Well, Israel started selling.

    Another provision in the law means that even internal refugees like Abu Arab, who has Israeli citizenship, will be prevented from buying back land that rightfully belongs to them, Ms Bishara said.
    “As is the case now in terms of leasing land,” she explained, “admissibility to buy land in rural communities like Tzipori will be determined by a selection committee whose job it will be to frustrate applications from Arab citizens.”

    So basically, this man's Israeli citezenship means nothing, really. He does not have the same rights as his fellow citizens who are Jewish.
