High Court lets 100 Palestinians into Israel for joint memorial event

The High Court of Justice accepts a petition filed by the Combatants for Peace group and rules that Israel must allow a hundred Palestinians into Israel to participate in a joint Memorial Day event in Tel Aviv mourning both slain Palestinians and fallen Israeli soldiers and terror victims.

The judges rejected the state’s position and said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also defense minister, could not prevent the Palestinians’ participation and “intervene in the way a family wants to express their private grief.”
