URGENT: STOP THE EVICTION OF 1,000 PEOPLE FROM MASAFER YATTA

Dear friends,

This past Wednesday,

the High Court of Justice abruptly reached a decision that legalizes the forcible eviction of approximately 1,000 Palestinian women, men, and children from their homes in Masafer Yatta in the southern Hebron Mountains.

Palestinians in the villages of Masafer Yatta live in poverty and difficult conditions within caves and huts, with agriculture as their only source of income

. For over 22 years, ACRI has accompanied and represented the residents of the villages of Masafer Yatta in the battle to remain on their land and preserve their unique lifestyle. We have witnessed them become parents and grandparents while struggling to make a living to feed their families.

Until this point,

a court order has been prohibiting the forcible transfer of those families;

the verdict given on Wednesday night officially legalizes the eviction of entire villages by the Israeli military.

ACRI’s position is that the ruling poses a dangerous precedent for interpreting international law. In demanding redress,

ACRI will spend tens of thousands of shekels in legal costs on top of the high costs imposed on us for the previous legal interventions

. To stand up and make the ultimate case to save the homes of 1,000 people, we need you by our side.
