The High Court of Justice recommended Monday that petitioners withdraw their petition to annul the laws severing ties with UNRWA, ruling that the petition does not meet the evidentiary threshold. The petitioners requested a 10-day extension to respond.
The High Court of Justice on Monday recommended that petitioners withdraw their petition to annul the laws severing ties with UNRWA, ruling that the petition does not meet the evidentiary threshold. The petitioners requested a 10-day extension to respond to the recommendation.
The development comes during the court's hearing on the petition, which was scheduled for Monday. The court had previously set the stage for the hearing with strict time limits and noted the government's absence from the proceedings. The petition challenges the Knesset's laws that effectively ended UNRWA's operations in Israel, which passed with a large majority.
The recommendation is not a final ruling; the petitioners have 10 days to decide whether to withdraw or continue. The court's suggestion indicates that the petition may not have sufficient legal basis to proceed.
