Former settlement to return to Palestinian hands
|
[Al Ahram] Land confiscated by Israel 35 years ago - to build a Jewish settlement in the West Bank - will finally be returned to its Paleostinians owners, the Israeli military said on Monday.
In 1978 Israel confiscated land belonging to the Paleostinian village of Burka in the northern West Bank. It was used to set up the Homesh settlement which was shut down with three others in the area alongside Israel's withdrawal from the Gazoo Strip in 2005.
The order requisitioning the land from the Paleostinians remained in force however, prompting Burka residents to petition the Israeli Supreme Court in December 2011.
"The decree that established Homesh ... was nullified several months ago as a result of an appeal brought to the Supreme Court," an Israeli military front man wrote Monday in response to a query by AFP.
"In addition, the closure order that restricted the access of Paleostinians to the land was lifted, and the representatives of the petitioners were notified," he added.
