Stop-Work orders on four residences in the Hebron town of Beit Awwa

 

  • Violation: serving stop-work orders
  • Location:  Beit Awwa- Hebron governorate
  • Date:  September 21, 2016
  • Perpetrators: High Planning Council- Israel Civil Administration
  • Victims:  Masalmeh family

Details:

Israeli Occupation Authorities notified on September 21, 2016 four residences of Stop-Work on the claim of "unlicensed construction" in the Hebron town of Beit Awwa. Affected people asserted that a vehicle relative to Israel Civil Administration accompanied by an army patrol raided the area known as "Um Hadhwa", east of the town, issued the orders, hanged them on the walls of the target houses and took some photos before the force withdrew.

The orders mentioned that the structures were established without proper license. October 09, 2016 was assigned as the hearing session of the Inspection Sub-Committee- Israel Civil Administration in the Israeli court of Beit El colony to consider whether to demolish the structures or restore their original status.

The orders mentioned that the affected people may apply for a license but this doesn’t mean that the occupation government will grant them such licenses. The following table shows information about the affected people and their property:

It should be marked that the orders were served in synchronization with new colonial units being built in Negohot colony that is founded on confiscated lands from Beit Awwa.

At the legal level, the staff of field research at Land Research Center guided the affected citizens on how to prepare the legal file needed to obtain a building licenses. The center will follow up and direct the affected to human rights organization to object to the military orders.

In reality, the issue is not all about unlicensed construction than it is on the occupation’s intention to take over more lands in the area of their control (Area C according to Oslo Accords). The Israeli occupation considers such lands as a colonial reserve, which will be hard to negotiate on in any future agreements with Palestinians.

 In a press conference, Israeli Minister of Economy Neftali Benet told journalist the following:  “The Oslo era is almost over; a real epoch is getting introduced to Israel’s politics. It is time to vision an economic peace through increasing investments ,enhancing the lifestyle of Palestinians, applying the Israeli sovereignty on areas classified “C” according to Oslo Accords and giving residents of the those areas full Israeli citizenship”
