Justice in the West Bank?: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Goes to Court

Yonah Jeremy Bob

Justice in the West Bank? The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Goes to Court is the first-ever insider look at the Israeli military's West Bank justice system for Palestinians. It is also a current, balanced, human story, which follows the key legal personalities of the West Bank courts and their interactions in the high-profile cases that have come to define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, just as the Trump administration rolled out its peace plan in Bahrain in June 2019. Top Israeli military officials signed off on never-before-given access to the chief West Bank prosecutor Maurice Hirsch, a South African-born, England-raised Jew who pursues defendants aggressively. Also weighing in, is the more cerebral former chief justice Aharon Mishnayot, who ushered in major reforms to expand Palestinian rights. Christian-Arab top defender of Palestinian security suspects Merav Khoury deals the legendary Israeli Shin Bet intelligence
