High Court again freezes demolition of West Bank Bedouin village
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe High Court of Justice extends a temporary injunction preventing the state from carrying out plans to raze a West Bank Bedouin village until it hears an appeal by local residents.
The court casts doubt on the state’s claims that its plans to raze Khan al-Ahmar were carried out legally, and orders that a hearing on the matter take place no later than August 15th, freezing the demolition of the village until at least after then.
The court initially issued the injunction last week in response to a petition submitted on behalf of the Bedouin community who claimed they never received eviction orders, and that their attempts to obtain permits for illegally built buildings were ignored by Israeli authorities.
