​This study examines the history of land governance in Palestine from the late Ottoman era to the Israeli occupation, focusing on the structural transformations in managing land tenure and control. The author presents a theoretical framework that integrates land rent, ownership, and spatial plan-ning to understand the conflict and its historical development. The research highlights how Ottoman law was utilized to regulate land ownership, fol-lowed by significant transformations under the British Mandate, where own-ership concepts were reshaped in connection with colonial control. The study also discusses Israeli occupation tools for dispossessing Palestinians, including legal mechanisms, expropriation, and spatial planning, shedding light on the historical, social, and political dimensions of the land conflict.
