The Supreme Court has ordered the government to pay IL 5000 to 18 Arab landowners in Rujeib, which is near the now defunct Elon Moreh settlement, to cover the costs of their appeal against the government to rescind the order to expropriate their land. The court ruled that in view of the total evacuation of Elon Moreh, which was completed last week and the recision of the order by the government, the action by the Arab landowners now be dropped. But the court ordered the government to pay the cost of their appeal.
