    Migron Homes to be Razed

    In a response to the High Court, the government revealed that it intends to demolish three newly constructed buildings in Migron within 45 days. The information was submitted to the court in response to a petition by Peace Now, charging that the homes in Migron were built on Arab land. Peace Now filed the petition of its own volition, without seeking approval or backing from the Arabs they are allegedly representing.

    In response to the government's declaration in the response that it would “not allow Migron residents to expand their settlement,” Yesha Council chairman Danny Dayan said that “when I see the total lack of enforcement of building regulations in the Arab towns in Area C, and the over-enforcement of building regulations in Jewish towns, I realize that there is no greater injustice than destroying Jewish homes.”
