Commander of the IDF Forces in the West Bank The Supreme Court Sitting as the High Court of Justice [February 29, 2004; March 11, 2004; March 17, 2004; March 31, 2004; April 16, 2004; April 21, 2004; May 2, 2004 ] Before President A. Barak, Vice-President E. Mazza, and Justice M. Cheshin JUDGMENT President A. Barak The Commander of the IDF Forces in Judea and Samaria issued orders to take possession of plots of land in the area of Judea and Samaria. The purpose of the seizure was to erect a Separation Fence on the land. The question before us is whether the orders and the Fence are legal. Background 1. Since 1967, Israel has been holding the areas of Judea and Samaria [hereinafter – the area] in belligerent occupation. In 1993 Israel began a political process with the PLO, and signed a number of agreements transferring control over parts of the area to the Palestinian Authority. Israel and the PLO continued political negotiations in an attempt to solve the remaining problems. The negotiations, whose final stages took place at Camp David in Maryland, USA, failed in July 2000. From respondents’ affidavit in answer to an order nisi we learned that, a short time after the failure of the Camp David talks, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reached new heights of violence.

  • The Gaza Strip: Access Report May 2005
    The Gaza Strip: Access Report May 2005 This report monitors monthly humanitarian access and movement in the Gaza Strip.1 All movement through the Gaza Strip’s borders is controlled by Israeli authorities. A security fence surrounds all of the Gaza Strip and sea access is restricted. Palestinian movement in and out of the Gaza Strip is through: • Erez crossing for workers and merchants who have permits to enter Israel; • Erez crossing for international humanitarian organisations; • Rafah crossing, between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, for access to other countries, including for overseas medical referrals; • Four commercial crossings of which Karni is the largest. Palestinian movement within the Gaza Strip is restricted: • through Abu Houli checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip; • by over 200 observed closure obstacles; • for Palestinians living in enclaves in close proximity to Israeli settlements.2 1. Gaza Strip Crossing Points A. Erez crossing and industrial estate Between January and March, there was a steady increase in the number of Palestinian workers and merchants entering Israel and the Erez industrial zone. This trend ended following the closure at Erez with the onset of the Jewish Passover holidays in the third week of April. The closure continued until 15 May for Palestinian workers and merchants, and 16 May for access to Erez industrial zone. This closure was imposed on the grounds that some workers had been submitting false documents while trying to leave the Gaza Strip. Restrictions continue on international humanitarian organisations who need prior coordination with Israeli authorities to enter and leave the Strip. A few high-level Palestinian UN staff are permitted to cross.

  • News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
    News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (September 19 – 26, 2017) Overview This past week there was a shooting attack near Har Adar, an Israeli community west of Jerusalem. The terrorist killed three Israelis and seriously wounded another. The terrorist who carried out the attack was a Palestinian from Bayt Surik (a Palestinian village east of Har Adar), father of four and holder of a legal work permit. He had no past security offenses but had a history of severe family violence. Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) have not condemned the attack so far. The official Fatah Facebook page posted responses praising the terrorist. Hamas welcomed the attack and its activists handed out candy and pastries to passersby in the Gaza Strip. A delegation of senior Hamas figures headed by Musa Abu Marzouq visited Moscow and met with Russian officials. After the visit it was reported that a permanent Hamas representative would be appointed to Moscow, but his name has not yet been officially made public. Following Hamas' announcement that it would disband its administrative committee, the Palestinian national consensus government reported it would hold its next meeting in the Gaza Strip. Ministers of the national consensus government are expected to leave for the Gaza Strip on October 2, 2017 to begin the procedure of transferring authority. In his speech before the UN General Assembly, Mahmoud Abbas noted, among other things, that the Palestinian struggle against Israel is political, and Palestinian people shun terrorism and religious wars. However, the terrorist attack in Har Adar and the lack of PA condemnation of the attack again illustrate that the "political struggle," so-called by Mahmoud Abbas, is accompanied by violence and terrorism (the so-called "popular resistance") supported by the PA.

  • Seizing the Mandate: Boycotting Products from Illegal Settlements
    SEIZING THE MANDATE: BOYCOTTING PRODUCTS FROM ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS Interstar This report was prepared by researchers with United Methodists for Kairos Response (UMKR).* About UMKR: UMKR is a global grassroots network of laity and clergy within the United Methodist Church working to align the denomination’s actions with its statements calling for an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. Responding to an urgent call from Palestinian Christians in the Kairos Palestine Document, UMKR advocates principled investment decisions and consumer choices that will help end the occupation. Through research, education and advocacy, UMKR seeks to implement the Church’s call to use non-violent means of securing a just peace for all the peoples of Israel and Palestine. UMKR works closely with interfaith and ecumenical partners in its work. Many of our volunteers have visited the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and seen the companies that operate there. They have met with Israelis and Palestinians who have documented the presence of companies in the settlements. They have seen first-hand the effects of Israel’s occupation on Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land and are resolved to end it. About United Methodist Policy: The General Conference is the policy making body for the United Methodist denomination. In 2012, the General Conference called on all nations to prohibit the import of products from Israeli settlements. (See page 1.) The church has long opposed Israel’s occupation of land beyond its internationally recognized borders, and
