Deadline looming over Israel settlement evacuation
AMY TEIBEL ―
WTOP
Religious nationalists living in a rogue settlement on a wind-swept West Bank hilltop are defying the Israeli government’s plans to evict them, setting up a showdown that has threatened to rip the ruling coalition apart.
The outcome could hurt Israel internationally should it choose to again flout its 2003 promise to Washington to knock down Migron and other unauthorized settler enclaves built on land Palestinians claim for a future state.
The government says the settlers of Migron _ 100 adults and 200 children living in a jumble of cramped trailers _ seized the territory unlawfully in 2001 from private Palestinian landowners. Settlers deny the claim, saying Arab plaintiffs haven’t been able to prove ownership of the land.
