A Restraining Order to halt Constructions at Al Khader Crossing Point !

April 1, 2006
in Military Orders
A Restraining Order to halt Constructions at Al Khader Crossing Point !

 

 

The Israeli Supreme Court issued a restraining order to halt the construction of the military crossing point on the entrance of Al Khader Village, West of Bethlehem. On November 21, 2005, the Israeli authorities issued a military order number (210/05/T , page 1 & page 2) which states the confiscation of 85 Dunums of lands from Al Khader, Battir and Beit Jala cities to construct a crossing point (terminal) at the entrance of Al Khader village to control the movement of Palestinian residents moving between Bethlehem western rural villages ( Battir, Husan, Nahhalin and Wadi Fukin) which is planned to become isolated west of the Segregation Wall (once completed) and the rest of Bethlehem Governorate. See Map 1  , & ) which states the confiscation of 85 Dunums of lands from Al Khader, Battir and Beit Jala cities to construct a crossing point (terminal) at the entrance of Al Khader village to control the movement of Palestinian residents moving between Bethlehem western rural villages ( Battir, Husan, Nahhalin and Wadi Fukin) which is planned to become isolated west of the Segregation Wall (once completed) and the rest of Bethlehem Governorate.

See Translation of military order in Annex 1

The Israeli Supreme Court Decision

Residents of Bethlehem western rural village councils (Nahalin, Hussan, Battir, Wadi Fukin ) along with Al Khader and Beit Jala Municipalities objected the military order and filed petitions to the Israeli Supreme court to stop the construction of the terminal. Lately, on March 12, 2006, the Israeli Supreme court, and as a result of the submitted petition, issued a restraining order to halt the construction of the military crossing point (terminal) at the entrance of Al Khader Village, west of Bethlehem.

The petition rejects the whole route of the Segregation Wall which is planned to be constructed in Western Bethlehem Governorate, as the Wall encompasses all of Gosh Etzion settlement bloc and threatens the isolation of more than 53200 Dunums of Palestinian lands. The Palestinian villages of Al Walajeh, Battir, Husan Nahalin and Wadi Fukin will be entrapped between two Walls; one that runs along bypass road number 60 (or the locally known by the 'Tunnel Road'); while the other runs close to the 1949 Armistice Line (Green line). Residents of the western villages depend much on Bethlehem urban center as the main service and employment provider. It is worth mentioning that the population of these villages exceeds 18,000 Palestinian residents who will be adversely impacted if the Israeli Wall plans are implemented and would lose their livelihood. The petition therefore calls for the Wall and terminal plans to be cancelled in this area.     

Conclusion:-

The construction of the Segregation Wall accompanied by a terminal is considered a real catastrophe to the residents of these villages, as the villagers will be completely isolated from Bethlehem Governorate, have to pass through the terminal in any time they want to leave their villages, will have to pass through security checks and will face annoyances from the Israeli soldiers in the terminal. Moreover, anyone who wants to access one of these villages must be from the residents of these villages otherwise s/he will not enter. In another meaning the local residents will be prisoners in their villages; they can not enter or leave without the permission from the Israeli jailer.
