The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a
Palestinian appeal regarding the ownership of a contested house in
Hebron, ruling that it was purchased legally by its Jewish residents.
The disputed building, called "Beit Hashalom"
("House of Peace") by the settlers but popularly referred to as "Beit
Hamerivah" ("House of Dispute"), was evacuated five years ago and was a
source of conflict between right-wing activists and security forces. The
judges denied the Palestinian claim that the sale of the property was
forged.
As a result of the ruling, leaders in the
settler community called on Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon to sign off
on allowing the settlers to return to the building.
