| Description | The Olmert government was elected on the basis of its promise to advance a "realignment" in the West Bank, at the center of which stood the evacuation of dozens of settlements. But it concludes its term without having upheld one of the commitments its predecessor made to the U.S. administration - the promise to dismantle all outposts built since March 2001.
The fate of Migron, the largest illegal outpost, which was built on private Palestinian land near Ramallah, becomes clearer when considering the High Court of Justice's sluggishness. The state promised to evacuate it, but repeatedly asked to postpone the evacuation in an attempt to reach a deal with the settlers, which would prevent a violent confrontation. |
