The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to present a clear timeline for the return of Palestinians to their homes in refugee camps in Judea and Samaria, including Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur al-Shams. The Ynet news agency reported the decision.
The court's ruling comes after the IDF launched "Operation Iron Wall" in January 2025, aimed at combating terrorism and dismantling militant infrastructure in these camps. During the operation, many residents were displaced for their safety.
Justices Yitzhak Amit, Alex Stein, and Khaled Kabub noted that nearly two years have passed since the operation began. While acknowledging ongoing security challenges, they stated that the military must take concrete steps to facilitate the residents' return and establish shorter deadlines for this process.
The court emphasized the need to balance security measures with the rights of the displaced residents, who remain away from their permanent residences.
