This evening (Sunday), the High Court issued a conditional order in a petition filed by the Regavim movement in the case of the illegal Bedouin outpost Khan al-Ahmar. The order instructing the state to explain within 120 days why The law “in the near future.”
The three Justices Solberg, Kara and Klein wrote in their decision: “In view of the frequent rejection requests, some more justified, most of them less justified; considering the long period of time in which the petition is pending, almost three years; 2009 Then the demolition orders were issued … There is now no escape from taking another step towards a decision, by way of issuing a conditional order.
The judges also wrote: “A conditional order is hereby issued, instructing the respondents to appear and give a reason why they will not act to implement the demolition orders issued by them, in relation to buildings in the Khan al-Ahmar compound, built on state land, within the blue line of the nearby Kfar Adumim settlement.

Regavim: “The judiciary is not supposed to take the chestnuts out of the fire for the executive branch”
The Regavim movement, which filed the petitions on Khan al-Ahmar, said tonight in response that the fact that the High Court of Justice has to be repeatedly petitioned against the state in order to enforce the planning and construction laws is “shameful in itself.” “I have repeatedly told the High Court that it will enforce the law and not keep its word. The judiciary is not supposed to take the chestnuts out of the fire for the executive branch.”
It will be recalled that last week the state was supposed to update the High Court on its position in the case, requested an additional two-day extension, but submitted a new request for an additional extension of 30 days. Is due to “the current circumstances in the world political arena, including the prime minister’s preoccupation with the war in Europe.”
