The village of Sussiya in the southern Hebron Hills has been labeled unauthorized by the Civil Administration – the Israeli governing body operating in the West Bank.

The High Court of Justice issued a ruling on Monday, rejecting the request filed on behalf of the Rabbis for Human Rights and Sussiya residents on February 2014 to prevent the planned demolitions. The court stated that it believes that alternative living solutions were available to the Palestinians living there.
“It is unusual for the state to oppose a temporary restraining order in this way,” Rabbi Arik Ascherman told The Jerusalem Post. “It heightens our suspicion that they have an intent to demolish Sussiya before there is an actual court hearing on the case.”
One of the lawyers from the village, Quamar Mishirqi-Assad, added that Israel wants to move the village settlement closer to Area B of the West Bank and away from the current Area C location, which makes up over 60 per cent of the West Bank.
Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, the West Bank was divided into three zones: Area A, Area B and Area C. Area A is secured and governed by the Palestinians, while Area C is under full Israeli control.
