Palestinian resident puts Israeli "settler" on trial, in the first lawsuit ever submitted against a settler in the Palestinian national courts
Headline: “The [PA] minister of justice: A resident of Burin will submit a lawsuit to the Nablus Trial Court against a settler who attacked his home”
“[PA] Minister of Justice Muhammad Al-Shalaldeh announced that a resident [Muntasir Mahmoud] of the village of Burin submitted a compensation claim yesterday [Nov. 8, 2020] to the Nablus Trial Court against a settler who attacked his home that is still under construction, which caused material and immaterial damages.
Al-Shalaldeh explained that this lawsuit is the first that is being submitted against a settler in the [Palestinian] national courts and that is based on the international conventions and laws, especially the Hague Convention. He called on citizens to submit lawsuits to the national, regional, and international courts in order to put on trial those who are violating our rights, and this is in accordance with [UN] Security Council Resolution No. 2334 (see note below –Ed.), which deals with the settlements.”
