Ozal Vatik, the head of the Kedumim Local Council, has sharply criticized the Israeli Supreme Court following its decision compelling the state to present timelines for the return of Arabs to their homes in the refugee camps of Jenin, Tul Karem, and Nur al-Shams in the northern West Bank. Vatik described the court's ruling as "scandalous" and stated it "permits the blood of Jews and legitimizes future attacks." He argued that the terrorists responsible for the deaths of four Kedumim residents in the past two years were apprehended and neutralized solely due to security forces' operations within the refugee camps. Vatik asserted that the IDF's actions in these camps led to a significant decrease in attacks against Jews and saved lives, attributing the survival of many Jews to the change in operational methods by the army and security forces in entering and controlling the camps. He concluded by calling for the removal of judges he believes endanger national security, stating that anyone who harms the country's security, endangers Jewish lives, and prioritizes the rights of terrorists should not serve as a Supreme Court justice or in any other state role.
