JERUSALEM – A last-minute legal challenge has put the scheduled
evacuation of an unauthorized West Bank settler outpost on hold for
at least a few days.
Israel´s Supreme Court said Tuesday it will review the appeal next
week.
The court set a May 1 deadline for the removal of the Ulpana outpost,
saying it was illegally built on private Palestinian land. Last week
the government asked for a 90-day delay.
Some 30 Jewish settler families live in Ulpana.
The court says it will review the government´s request at Sunday´s
hearing.
Israel has vowed to remove dozens of unauthorized outposts but has
taken little action.
