Friday 17-May-2013

AL-KHALIL (PIC)– Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now said on Thursday that the Netanyahu government wants to give retroactive approval to four unauthorized West Bank settlement outposts already slated for demolition.

Haaretz newspaper reported that “in a document submitted to the High Court of Justice on Tuesday the state said that it will act to legalize four West Bank outposts for which a delimitation order was issued in 2003.”

The four outposts in question are: Givat Asaf Mitzpeh Lakhish Ma’aleh Rehavam and Givat Haroeh. They have been established on privately-owned Palestinian lands in the West Bank.
