Israeli Supreme Court Orders State to Set Timeline for Return of Displaced to West Bank Camps

The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered the state to set a timeline for the return of displaced residents to refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams.

The state cited security concerns for the delay, while petitioners highlighted severe humanitarian and economic hardships. The state must also respond to claims of inadequate aid and a request by 53 additional families to join the petition by November 23, 2026.
