The Israeli Supreme Court rejected Monday an Israeli government’s appeal to postpone the eviction of Amona illegal settlement in West Bank.
Yesh Din human rights organization affirmed that the Supreme Court approved the eviction of Amona settlement by December 25 since it was built on private Palestinian land.
“The evacuation must occur before December 25” the court said in its ruling on Monday. “The court rejects the delay requested by the state.”
The high court ruled in 2014 that Amona northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank must be evacuated.
With the Amona deadline in mind a committee of Israeli ministers on Sunday approved a bill that would allow the establishment of settlement homes on private Palestinian lands.
