Court rejects petition against construction of town for Gush Katif evacuees
The Supreme Court rejected a petition by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel against the construction of the Mirsham town in Hevel Lachish meant to house Gush Katif evacuees.
The Society for the Protection of Nature said in response, "Unfortunately, the court preferred the interest of so few, even though suitable alternatives could have been found for them in the same space, without having to build a new town." (Yael Ivri-Darel)
