After the 1967 occupation, Israel surrounded its settler colonization project in the occupied territory with a multi-level "legal" cover, with the Israeli Supreme Court forming one of the pillars of this legal structure. In this episode, lawyer Sawsan Zahr reviews the role of the Israeli Supreme Court in contributing to the permanence of the occupation, enabling settlements, and legitimizing the decisions of the Israeli establishment towards the occupied territory and its Palestinian inhabitants. This episode summarizes a book published by MADAR in October on Israeli Supreme Court decisions related to the territories occupied in 1967, prepared by Attorney Sawsan Zahr, who previously served as Deputy Director of Adalah in Israel.
