Israeli Settlers Evacuated from West Bank Outpost Following Court Order
(Washington Post) Joel Greenberg - Under court order, Israel on Sunday evacuated 50 families from Migron, one of the largest unauthorized settlement outposts in the West Bank, where the first mobile homes were set up in 2001 after the construction of an Israeli cellular antenna tower at the site. The families traveled to temporary quarters at a neighboring settlement and are to move later this month into prefabricated homes about a mile from the original location of their community. "We are committed to the rule of law," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "We are honoring the court's rulings, and we are also strengthening settlement. There is no contradiction between the two."
