ABSTRACT

This book is about the Israeli Supreme Court and how, in its capacity as the High Court of Justice (HCJ), 1 it has adjudicated petitions by Palestinians seeking to challenge the legality of measures that have been implemented by Israeli military and government authorities for the alleged security of Israeli settlements and settlers in the occupied West Bank. In particular, the analysis focuses on the Court’s judgments that were rendered after the outbreak of the Second Intifada (Uprising) in 2000.
