Court nixes bid to end Israel's iron grip on W.Bank planning
 

https://s.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/uS...5874ce6d02.jpgIsrael's Supreme Court has dismissed a Palestinian petition that sought to end discriminatory housing policies in the occupied West Bank and would have returned local planning rights to the Palestinians. The ruling, handed down Tuesday, was in response to a petition filed by the West Bank village of Ad-Deirat, the Israeli NGO Rabbis for Human Rights and a**ther three organisations. The case relates to Israel's iron grip on all planning matters in what is k**wn as "Area C" -- which covers more than 60 percent of the occupied West Bank -- where it is all-but-impossible for Palestinians to obtain building permits.
