Validation Bill

Adalah to file Supreme Court petition against 'sweeping and dangerous' Validation Law that violates international law and Palestinian property rights in West Bank.

Bill violates both international and Israeli law; Israel is forbidden – as occupying power – to exploit occupied lands for its own political or civil purposes.

Proposed plan is part of 'Validation Bill,' which would allow Israel to expropriate private Palestinian lands in the West Bank for purposes of settlement construction.

Bill violates international laws that forbid an occupying power from transferring its civilian population into occupied territories.
