The text primarily focuses on the impact of the Israeli occupation on the Palestinian population in the West Bank, specifically on their agricultural land and livelihood. It highlights the confiscation of land, the control of agricultural production, and the measures taken to weaken the sector. This suggests that the category should be related to agriculture, economy, and the impact on the Palestinian people.
