I belong to a farming family from Birzeit in the West Bank. I am a diaspora Palestinian and moved here in 2022, but our family have been here for hundreds of years.
We’ve been farming grapes and producing wine since the 1990s, and olives since long before then. We also have some smallhold farms where we grow seasonal produce.
About three months ago, we received a notice from the Israeli army announcing the creation of a new ‘military security zone’ of approximately 7-8,000 square metres in an area between Birzeit and Atara, a neighbouring village.
