Summary Annotation Kretzmer (international law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) examines the Supreme Court of Israel's decisions on petitions challenging policies and actions in the West Bank and Gaza since 1967. He discusses the basis for the Court's jurisdiction, the application and interpretation of the international law of belligerent occupation, the legality of settlements and highway construction, and security measures. He argues that, in times of crisis, courts tend to align themselves with the executive branch. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
