What happened
On 26-27 February 2026 Israel's High Court issued a conditional order requiring the IDF West Bank commander and the head of the Civil Administration to justify why they had not protected 12 Palestinian farmers from Wadi al-Far'a in the Jordan Valley from settler Moshe Sharvit. The petition by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel says Sharvit built a gate in October 2023 blocking access to their land, soldiers summoned by him ordered the farmers to leave, and a March 2025 restraining order against him was violated within three days. On 12 March 2026 the court issued an interim order for the state to remove Sharvit from the lands pending a further decision.
