Israel - Supreme Court rules against illegal outpost

Published on Mar 26, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.com/ Israel's Supreme Court has given Jewish settlers until August to evacuate Migron, the biggest illegal outpost in the occupied West Bank.

A government-backed deal would have let them stay on the Palestinian-owned land until 2015. The court dismissed that delay but extended the deadline beyond the end of March when settlers were supposed to leave, under an earlier ruling.

In Tel Aviv, the rights group Peace Now is content: "We are satisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court to reject the deal between the government and the settlers," said Peace Now's Director-General Yariv Oppenheimer. "The land of Migron should go back to it's owners, the Palestinians."

It is another blow to Benjamin Netanyahu's government, just days after the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva launched an international investigation into Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories.

http://www.euronews.com/ Spain's ruling centre-right People's Party has been dealt a blow ahead of launching a new austerity budget on Friday. Despite being tipped to win, it has failed to secure an outright majority in the Andalucian regional election.

The Socialists have been in power in the region for three decades, but the result suggests the electorate is tired of corruption scandals and high unemployment.

The PP won 50 of the 109 seats in Andalucia, still the most it has ever won. However, the combined totals of the Socialists, with 47, and the United Left on 12 open the possibility of a leftist ruling coalition.

Now it is down to the region's United Left candidate to play kingmaker to the Socialists, a role Diego Valederas says he is going to relish.

Victory in Andalucia was seen as key as it also has the country's highest level of unemployment. Spain's plans to deepen cutbacks in public spending will be felt particularly hard here as it tries to pull itself out of the eurozone debt crisis.

A solid win would have put the PP in control of 12 of Spain's 17 autonomous regions and also strengthened Prime
