He said Israel wanted to arrange the handover of settler homes through an international organisation, possibly
the World Bank.
OK, so the Israelis want an international organization to dole out the houses to “refugees.”
A few questions.
Do the houses belong to Israel? What if the Israelis built the houses on land they stole from a Palestinian?
Does Israel have any standing to decide who gets the houses? Is it right to raze the houses as they leave?
(They did this when pulling out of the Sinai.)
The next complication is the Palestinian Powers That Be, whoever that is at the moment. This article quotes
Palestinian cabinet minister Ghassan al-Khatib saying: ”Israel has no right to make conditions or dictations on
how these properties will be dealt with.”
