Knesset to enact law restricting Palestinian access to high court

Tuesday 29-May-2018

A bill that would limit Palestinian access to the high court of justice passed its first reading in the Knesset on Monday night.

The bill would send many of Palestinian cases particularly with regard to land ownership and demolitions in Area C of the West Bank to Israeli district courts.

According to The Jerusalem Post Israeli right-wing politicians hope the legislation will sharply reduce the high number of West Bank land cases that left-wing non-governmental groups and Palestinians file to the high court.
