Out of which, Palestinians owned 92 %, further bifurcating to 85% which was of abandoned villages of Palestinian. In the new formed Israel, Palestinian lands were about 7% of the total previously owned land. In the year 1949, approximately 8% of Israeli managed lands were in reality Jewish owned. The remaining land was under the surveillance of Government. The foremost task of Israel was to convert the holding of land in the legitimate ownership. This motivated to the development of land and property law.
