Netanyahu attacks Supreme Court judges for blocking demolition of Palestinian family home | | Netael Bandel - Ha`aretz - The Supreme Court revoked a demolition
order for the family home of Nizmi Abu Bakr, a Palestinian charged
with murdering Israeli soldier Amit Ben Ygal in the West Bank in
May. Justice Menachem Mazuz wrote that the petitioners, Abu Bakr’s
wife and eight children, are not accused of any involvement in Abu
Bakr’s alleged “malicious actions – not in aiding, knowing his
intentions to take action and not even in supporting his acts after
the fact. The attacker himself was caught and is on trial, and he is
expected to serve a long term of imprisonment, if he is convicted.
This means that the damage to the house first and foremost
constitutes harm to his wife and children who were left to live in
the house." Its demolition, he wrote, "would leave them without a
roof over their heads,” wrote Mazuz. PM Netanyahu called it “a
miserable ruling” which "gives a tailwind to terrorism" and demanded
that the court hold another hearing on the matter, with an expanded
panel of judges. [ak]

Oxford and other top British universities under fire for sending students to illegal Israeli settlements | | Open Democracy - The institutions, including the universities of Oxford, Manchester, and Leeds, run exchange schemes with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As part of the programme, students usually stay in halls of residence in a Palestinian area of Jerusalem illegally occupied by Israeli settlers. [bz]
Munir Nuseibah, assistant professor at the faculty of law at Al Quds University, the Palestinian university in Jerusalem: “By participating in this exchange, the universities... disregard the international consensus that East Jerusalem is occupied and that its annexation by Israel is contrary to international law.”
Amnesty says the universities are “actively linking themselves to a whole system of illegality, discrimination and exploitation”. | 4/8/2020 |

Israel offers money to Palestinian family over settler killing but family prefers to fight it in court | | Gilad Cohen / Elisha Ben Kimon - Y-net News - In 2018, Israeli
settlers from the settlement of Tapuah hurled stones at a Palestinian
car traveling on a road near Nablus, causing the death of Aisha al-
Rabi and wounding her husband and duaghter. Five settlers were
arrrested in the aftermath. In the aftermath, Israel`s
Defense Ministry recognized the attack as having been "an act of
terror" as defined in Israeli law, but ruled that Al-Rabi`s family
deserved no compensation since "She was not an Israeli citizen and
the killing occurred outside Israel`s recognized boundaries". The
family contested the ruling, appealing to the Supreme Court in
Jerusalem and demanding that the Government of Israel pay seven
million Shekels in compensations. After several months the Defence
Ministry approached the family, offering to settle out of court for
the sum of 670,000 Shekels. However, the al-Rabi Family rejected
this offer as "far too little" and will continue its judicial
appeal. [ak] | 4/8/2020 |

International Court decision on probing Israeli actions delayed until mid-August | | Middle East Monitor - In July, when Netnayahu seemed on the verge of
declaring annexation of much of the West Bank, the International
Criminal Court in the Hague seemed poised to assert its jurisdiction
in the West Bank and start proceedings on Palestinian accusations of
Israeli war crimes. That would have meant a head-on collision with
President Trump, Netanyahu`s ally and originator of the annexation
plan - but the court seemed on the verge of taking this step, as
either a retaliation or a preemptive act towards Israeli annexation.
But with the annexation
plans put on hold, the ICC decided to lay down the hot potato - at
least until mid-August, the end of its summer recess. Meanwhile, the
Israeli government is preparing a secret list of hundreds of its
officials who are liable to be tried in The Hague on war crimes
charges. Presenting of charges against them would not lead to their
actually sitting in the dock, but likely they would have to forget
about ever again having a European vaction. [ak] | 4/8/2020 |
