RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Israeli daily, Haaretz, reported on Friday that the Israeli “defense ministry” has instructed the Civil Administration to hand over a Palestinian house in Ras neighborhood in al-Khalil in favor of an Israeli Association after an Israeli court decided that the purchase of the Palestinian house by Israeli settlers was legitimate and legal.
Barak announced in a press release issued yesterday that his decision "was based on a legal opinion" supported by the attorney general in the "central region", and the Israeli Central Command Chief in the West Bank.
The Web site expected that the settlers will take control of the house which was named many names "the brown house", the "House of Peace" and "the disputed house."
The source added that the mentioned house, consisting of four floors, was established in 1995 in a strategic area east of al-Khalil linking the settlement of "Kiryat Arba" with an Israeli settlement in al-Khalil near the Ibrahimi Mosque.
The settlers claimed they bought the house in 2004 from its Palestinian owner Faiz Rajabi and Abdelkader Shawar through an intermediary Ayoub Yousef Jaber, where the text of the sale contract stated to pay half a million Jordanian dinars for the house, but the seller retreated from the deal in 2007 by claiming he did not receive the full amount and refused to leave the house.
The newspaper said that the court received an appeal from the Israeli Association in 2008 to demand an approval of the transaction's application, while the commander of "central region" announced the house as a closed military zone, and evacuated it from its Palestinian owners by force on the fourth of December 2008.
The Israeli authorities have taken control over the house till last September, when the court declared its sale legal.
