Court rules Jerusalem municipality can evict gallery that hosted left-wing group
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Jerusalem judge has ruled in favor of the municipality as it seeks to evict a gallery that hosted the left-wing Breaking the Silence group.
The Barbour gallery had fought the eviction from the city-owned premises, where it has been located for the past 13 years. Culture Minister Miri Regev had pushed for the eviction.
Judge Amir Dahan of the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court noted that the municipality’s decision was political in nature. Still, he ruled that the city has the right to reclaim its property.
Barbour must vacate the premises by February 1, 2019, he ruled.
