Erection of outposts

• The Mateh Binyamin Regional Council has begun developing the site designated to house settlers from the West Bank outpost of Migron. Bulldozers have been brought to the area, located near the Psagot settlement, in order to level the ground. In late March the Israeli High Court ordered the State to evacuate Migron by August 1 because it was built on private Palestinian land. In its ruling, the court rejected a compromise agreement between the State and the settlers, according to which the outpost's destruction would be delayed until 2015. The court's decision drew harsh criticism from right-wing Knesset members. Ynetnews (April 6, 2012)
