High Court rules to freeze compensation payments to settlement home owners

The High Court rules to temporarily freeze the government’s transfer of millions of shekel in compensation to the owners of the illegally built West Bank homes in Amona, Ofra, and Netiv Ha’avot that it demolished under the court’s orders.

Families whose houses were destroyed were set to receive around NIS 1 million ($260,000) from the government.

The interim order requires the state to justify by next Monday why it should be allowed to repay settlers for demolishing homes they built without the government’s permission.
