A Netanya Magistrate's Court has frozen demolition orders against the home of Nidal Abu Ali's family in Qalansawe, following a request submitted by the defense team. Lawyers Ahmad Ghazawi and Mohammad Haj Yahya stated that the case is not merely about permits but represents a political decision and a policy of constriction against the Arab community concerning land and housing issues. They argued that the decision to proceed with demolishing homes, over a decade after the order was issued and just days before elections, serves partisan interests, particularly those of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Qalansawe has recently seen public activism against demolition orders, including those affecting the Abu Hajjaj and Abu Mutir families. These homes are located adjacent to Qalansawe but are built on land belonging to the Tayibe municipality.
