Story
Demolishing dwellings, agricultural structures and water wells are routine for Palestinians in the West Bank. But a serious discussion of legal possibilities to build on their land is rare. In 1971 the Palestinian planning authority was requisitioned and transferred to the Israeli Civil and military administration. Since then all building starts have become illegal. In August 2013 the Palestinian village council in conjunction with a coalition of human rights groups petitioned the High Court to restore the planning authority back to their hands. Language:
