The KKL-JNF acquires land in Palestine on behalf of the Jewish people. As of 2021, the organisation controls 13% of Israel’s land and reported a gross revenue of NIS 1.2 billion . With 50 fundraising offices worldwide, the KKL-JNF cultivates an image of environmental stewardship and grassroots support in the Jewish community.
In 1968, prime minister Levi Eshkol directed the KKL-JNF to purchase land in the West Bank through its subsidiary, Himanuta, specifically tasked with acquiring land in the occupied territories. By the mid-1980s, these land grabs intensified, bolstered by right-wing settler groups such as Elad and Ateret Cohanim.
