What the Jewish community wants from Israel’s Israel-Palestine conflict

Israel’s Jewish community is asking the Supreme Court to take up the case of a young man who claims he was assaulted by a Palestinian driver on a highway in the West Bank, a court official has said.

The court is expected to take the case on Wednesday.

The Israeli authorities, however, have said the man was not attacked.

The case has attracted international attention and was one of a number of cases that have drawn attention to Israel’s policies towards Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The 21-year-old driver, a resident of the Palestinian village of Shu’fat, was arrested last week and charged with assault and manslaughter.

His defence lawyer, Shlomi Yaffa, has been urging the Supreme Rabbinical Court to rule on the case.

“The court will decide what kind of punishment is appropriate to him,” she told the BBC.

The driver has also appealed against his arrest and is due to be sentenced on Thursday.

His case has drawn international attention, with Human Rights Watch saying it is “clearly a serious case”.

“This young man is not a criminal, he has been convicted of serious crimes and he has received the proper punishment,” Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Council, said in a statement.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) said it would take the driver’s case to the International Criminal Court.

Israel, which annexed the West Jordan Valley in the 1967 Middle East war, has long treated Palestinians as second-class citizens.

Israel considers all Palestinians to be “illegal” in the territories it captured in the 1948 Nakba, when the Palestinians lost most of their land and possessions to Jewish settlements.

Palestinian officials say the Israeli occupation forces deliberately drive Palestinians from their homes and forcibly transfer them to the occupied West Bank.

The Supreme Court has long held that such “price tag” attacks are illegal under international law.

Israel has not commented on the court case.
