For the ninth time: the State of Israel asks the High Court to allow another postponement of its response to ‘Regavim’’s petition for the evacuation of the “Palestinian Authority”’s flagship outpost, Khan al-Ahmar.
The PA targeted this point precisely because of its critical strategic value as the link between Bethlehem, Ramallah and Jericho and as an area with no Arab presence.
Enabling the takeover of this strategic location will be a fiasco for Israel’s security and strategic integrity, said the NGO ‘Regavim’.
A decision had to be taken today, but again, no decision was made. It is said that Prime Minister Netanyahu wanted to considerate of US Secretary of State Blinken’s visit on the one hand, and the beginning of Ramadan on the other.
Well, significant state visits and important religious festivals are actually almost weekly in Israel. With such reasoning, this illegal settlement will stay for ever with the PA.
“We continue to repeat the same demand: we call upon our representatives in the government to to evacuate this illegal encampment – as well as dozens of other PA outposts created in the same mold – not 300 meters away from its present location, but to the neighborhood near Abu Dis prepared precisely for this purpose.“, wrote ‘Regavim’ on Facebook and concludes: “There’s no justification for this.“
