Summary

HCJ 6698/95, in which the Supreme Court overruled Katzir’s refusal to sell a plot to a Palestinian couple because they were not Jewish, as Adalah’s Discriminatory Laws Database presents it in the Admissions Committees Law entry (Discriminatory Laws Database, lines 1549-1698).

Details

  • The community town of Katzir had refused to sell a plot to a Palestinian couple, citizens of Israel, on the basis that they were not Jewish; because the community had been established on state land, the principle of non-discrimination must be upheld and a plot must be allocated to the Qa’adan family, in the entry’s account (source entry, lines 1549-1698).
  • The entry says the 2011 Admissions Committees Law was passed to undermine the already limited non-discrimination principles established in Qa’adan, and that Ayelet Shaked stated the Nation-State Law’s objective was to circumvent rulings like Qa’adan (source entries, lines 622-768 and 1549-1698).
