Government Seeks Court's Okay to Dismantle Palestinian E1 Tents
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff and Ben Hartman - The Israeli government on Tuesday asked the High Court of Justice to rescind its temporary injunction protecting 25 large white protest tents, erected by Palestinians last Friday in an undeveloped area of Ma'ale Adumim known as E1. On Sunday some 100 activists were forcibly evacuated from the encampment, however the tents were protected by an injunction. The state disputed the activists' claim that the land was private Palestinian property, noting that it had been declared state land in 1982 and again in 2005. The state added that the Palestinians were staging a nationalist battle that had little to do with property rights.
