Gov’t Asks High Court for Delay on Khan al-Ahmar Evacuation, Again
The government on Wednesday requested a four-month delay to carry out the High Court’s ruling to evacuate and raze the illegal Bedouin herding village of Khan al-Ahmar.
The High Court ruled in 2018 that the settlement could be razed but allowed for delays, which have been used regularly by the different governments since the ruling.

Media reports said the two were overruled by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
