ABSTRACT
By examining the political and legal trajectory of the securitisation of the Supreme Court, this chapter suggests that by ‘regularising’ the settlements Israel is trading security from Israeli domestic law and its own Supreme Court for increased insecurity from International Law and the International Criminal Court. With reference to the Sasson Report and the Levy Report this chapter analyses the selection of legal narrative to support securitisation moves. This chapter sees the emergence of a ‘hierarchy of securitisation’ that is set to redefine Israel’s relationship with the newly arrived International Criminal Court.
