What Is Happening in the Galilee? The Battle Over a Farm Near Majd al-Krum A dispute over a new agricultural encampment near the Arab town of Majd al-Krum has developed into a wider political battle over land and Jewish settlement in the Galilee. The site was established on land managed partly by KKL-JNF after permission was granted for livestock grazing. However, tents and infrastructure were erected before livestock arrived, and parts of the encampment extended beyond the permitted area. Following protests by residents of Majd al-Krum and concerns over escalating tensions, KKL-JNF ordered the structures dismantled. The evacuation is temporary. KKL-JNF has said grazing activity can return after the holidays under revised conditions. The dispute has now become part of a broader political debate over Jewish agricultural presence and land policy in the Galilee.
