On Wednesday, the Israeli state informed the High Court of Justice that Palestinian Bedouins from Ras Ein al-Auja may return to their community in the Jordan Valley, contingent upon coordination with military officials. This follows a February ruling that mandated the state to assist in their return after residents reported harassment and intimidation from settlers. The state rejected claims of forcible displacement, asserting that there was no formal eviction and that residents were free to return. However, requests for a permanent police presence or a closed military zone for Israelis were denied, as officials found no current justification for such measures. Residents are required to coordinate their return at least seven days in advance, allowing military officials to accompany them initially. The state also highlighted ongoing illegal construction in the area, noting that stop-work orders had been issued. The decision leaves the next steps to the petitioners, who must decide whether to accept the proposed conditions or challenge them in court.
