The article focuses on the cultural heritage law and practices on Palestinian artifacts trading in Israel. It states that the beginnings of the legal sale of antiquities in Israel and Palestine can be traced back to the Ottoman occupation of the region, which drove the movement of artifacts from the hinterlands to the capital. It mentions that the legal precedents for the trade are also a legacy of the Mandate period, during which the British Mandate government formed both the legal and logistical framework for the present antiquities scheme in Israel, and proposed law in Palestine.
