High Court gives state 30 days to respond to petition against Regulation Law

Justice Zvi Handel, after hearing the Wednesday petition by 17 Palestinian municipalities against the Regulation Law, gives the state 30 days to offer its defense of the controversial law.

The law mandates the retroactive seizure of private Palestinian land on which some 4,000 Israeli settlement homes were built illegally.

The Palestinians’ bid to overturn the law as unconstitutional is filed Wednesday by two Israeli legal aid organizations, Adalah and the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center.
