British Parliament to hold debate on Israeli settlements - Feb. 9 | | Palestine Solidarity Campaign (UK) - On February 9, the British
Parliament is due to hold a debate on Israeli settlement
construction on the West Bank. Theresa May`s government had voted in
the UN Security Council in favor of the anti-settlement Resolution
2334. But later on May - seeking to establish close ties
with the incoming US President Trump - was manifestly lukewarm in
her criticism of Israeli government policies. The PSC launced a
petition, calling upon Britons to contact their MPs and urge them to
"speak out about the stark impact of settlement building on
Palestinian lives" and demand that the UK government "take concrete
steps to cease all trade and financial ties with settlements". [ak] | 31/1/2017 |

IDF tells Amona settlers to vacate within 48 hours | | Tova Lazaroff - The Jerusalem Post - The IDF ordered all residents
of the illegal Amona outpost to get out within 48 hours - i.e.until
February 2 - after which the area will become a Closed military
zone". The settlers were taken by surprise by this order, which
accelerates the timetable set by the Supreme Court. Declaring Amona
to be located on privately owned Palestinian land, the judges gave
February 8 as the deadline for evacuation. The Amona settlers at one
stage agreed to move peacefully away, but have reneged on this
promise and were reputed to be contemplating large-scale resistance
by their supporters for the expected February 8 evacuation date.

Will settlement lawsuit set legal precedent? | | Charlotte Silver -
Electronic Intifada
"A lawsuit filed with Israel’s high court might open a new legal
course for scores of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank who have
had their land seized by the military over the last 50 years.Though
Israel’s high court has a history of ruling favorably on expanding
settlements, Dror Etkes, a longtime Israeli settlement researcher,
promises the new lawsuit is a first of its kind that could trigger
dozens more like it."ca

High Court freezes `Amona Deal`: setters will not be offered a new parcel of privately owned Palestinian land | | Tovah Lazaroff - Jerusalem Post - The High Court in Jerusalem
effectively put an end to the "deal" which the government offered to
residents of the West Bank settlement outpost of Amona. After
the court earlier ruled that the Amona settlers were illegally
occupying privately-owned Palestinian land and had to vacate it, the
government suggested that they move to nearby parcels of land,
considered "abandoned property" under Israeli occupation law.
However, the Israeli legal aid center "Yesh Din" offered proof that
the plots in question were not "abandoned" but the valid property of
other Palestinian owners. Thus, the court spiked the "deal". With
time running out until the evacuation deadline of February 8,
Netanyahu faces an onslaught by the settlers and their political
allies. [ak] | 24/1/2017 |

watchtower was recently installed on the land.Yitzhar is known as
one of the most radical West Bank settlements, and is home to Od

territories." ca
