State: Cabinet within rights to order settlement freeze
The State filed a High Court rebuttal to a petition by the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel against the government's decision to order a temporary settlement freeze.
The brief claimed that both the National Security Cabinet and the sector's military command hold the authority to execute the decision, and that "political sensitivities" prevented the government from informing the public of its decision ahead of time. (Aviad Glickman)
