Supreme Court granted the state 30 days to respond to Adalah's petition against law that retroactively “legalizes”, under Israeli law, settlements built on private Palestinian land.

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

Resolution consistent with int'l humanitarian law; Adalah demands Israel abide by Security Council's calls to "immediately and completely" cease all settlement activities, including in East J'lem.

Plan to expand Jerusalem-area settlement onto Beit Jala is breach of international law, serious violation of Palestinian property rights.

Israeli government transfers its authority to establish and implement settlement policy to an organization that acts in interests of Jewish citizens only.

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.
