"This report is the first devoted to an examination of the activity of the Civil Administration's Blue Line Team, which has been in operation since 1999. The Blue Line is a general term given by the Israeli authorities for territories known as 'state lands'. The main task of the team was and remains to examine the precision of the maps of state-land declarations, maps made in previous years, mainly in the early 1980s. In other words, its job was to revisit and approve the boundaries of these declarations. Since its establishment and through the end of 2015 (the period for which we currently possess information) the Blue Line Team mapped territories whose overall area is close to 320,000 dunam, the overwhelming majority of which had been declared in the past as state lands. A smaller portion of the Blue Line Team's work was devoted to mapping areas to which Israel helped itself for the settlements and the infrastructure surrounding them, by way of various military orders and through the mapping of lands purchased by Jews prior to 1948"--page 6.
