Summary

Israeli Supreme Court Israeli Supreme Court Decision on Aqaba Demolition

Despite the long time that has passed, we learned from the Petitioners’ attorney that Petitioners are merely in the stage of raising money for preparing such a plan.
As for the demolition orders themselves – Petitioners have no real cause for granting an order and receiving a remedy. Even if the planning authorities committed negligence by omission, and we do not say so, this does give permission for chaotic building and setting facts on the ground that may set obstacles for any future planning.

Finally, the Petitioners asked that we order a stay of the demolition orders for a period of 24 months, in order to enable the Petitioners to follow the proceedings for preparing a new master plan. We will not grant this last request, if only for the reason that their request was given to them by virtue of the fact that 4 years have elapsed since they filed their petitions.
