Court petitioned to review security arrangements on Route 443
When last we left Route 443, the IDF was under court order to open it to 'Palestinian' traffic by the end of May, regardless of how much danger that would pose to Israeli Jews using the road. The IDF had announced that it would place four new roadblocks on the 14-kilometer stretch of the road between the Jerusalem city limit and Maccabim, probably slowing the road to a crawl (which may be better than Route 1 - the main road between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - which may be at a standstill), in order to secure the road. There would thus be a total of six roadblocks in 14 kilometers.But apparently even that will not be enough, or so claim over 1,000 people who have petitioned the 'High Court of Justice' to review the security arrangements before the road opens to 'Palestinian' traffic in two weeks.
The Shurat Din organization, along with roughly 1,000 other people, filed a petition to the High Court of Justice against the opening of Route [443] to Palestinian traffic which is slated to take place in two weeks.Anyone want to play Russian Roulette?
The petition said that the security arrangements determined by the IDF towards the opening of the road are insufficient and pose a threat to the lives of the citizens who use the road. The petitioners asked the court to order the IDF to prepare new security arrangements, and demanded that the road not be opened to Palestinian traffic until the petition is discussed in court.

The Israeli leftist Supreme Court justices should drive the road themselves without any security presence - and see if they make it back to their office alive.
Norman, that's not fair.
With or without roadblocks and security, there are plenty of Israelis who would like to do the same to Israel's hypocritical, crony SC overlords.
