Peace Now has released an update on the Israeli Supreme Court ruling accepting the appeal and petition of Palestinian landowners on whose lands the Mitzpe Kramim outpost was established, and ruled that it should be vacated within three years. However, the settlers filed a civil lawsuit against the state claiming that they have rights to the land-based on promises that the state made to them and contracts given to them by the Settlement Division. These contracts grant the settlers’ rights to the land even though it is privately owned by Palestinians. Peace Now confirmed that it is an important ruling confirming that “the land grab in Mitzpe Kramim” was not made in good faith, and when there is no good faith “the Market Regulation” cannot be applied and the land should return to its owners. When the state or settlers take control over private lands, or in the name of security needs land is transferred over to the settlers, this is not a real deal; it is a clear case of dispossession and plunder that it is impossible to condone.
