Israel’s parliament has passed a contentious law meant to retroactively legalize thousands of West Bank settlement homes
The law passed 60-52 in a late-night vote Monday Feb 06,2017
The law is expected to be challenged in Israel’s Supreme Court and is likely to face legal hurdles.
The law retroactively legalizes several thousand homes built illegally on private Palestinian land. The original landowners would be compensated either with money or alternative land, even if they do not agree to give up their property.
