“Proposals introduced to Netanyahu’s office received initial approval,” noting that these proposals were based on the alternatives introduced to the Supreme Court in July. The court turned down the proposals and decided that the village must be demolished.
The new proposals include a detailed plan for Al-Khan Al-Ahmar based on the Jordanian law of planning and construction, as well as Israeli recognition of the village after it is relocated.
