Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Yisrael Katz to disregard a Supreme Court ruling on setting a timeline for the return of displaced Palestinians, Shehab Wire reported. Smotrich's demand came in response to the court's decision addressing the displacement of residents from camps in the northern West Bank.
The Israeli Supreme Court had ordered authorities to establish a schedule for Palestinians to return to their homes following their displacement from the camps.
