Summary:[...]David Kretzmer, professor emeritus in international law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, writes about the "glaring disparity" not only between the Israeli government's actions on the West Bank and the norms of international law - but also between the government's actions and the legal norms that apply according to the decisions of the country's Supreme Court.
