The Regavim movement intends to file a petition with the High Court against the retroactive dismissal of administrative fines imposed in recent years in the context of enforcement of the Planning and Construction Law. The 2017 amendment to the Planning and Construction Law, known also as the Kaminitz Law, has proven incredibly effective.

One of the primary conditions posed by Mansour Abbas’s Raam Party to support the new government is a commitment by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid that administrative fines issued against illegal construction will be canceled.

According to the Regavim Movement: 

"It is inconceivable that a government will take steps to enact a sweeping, retroactive cancellation of fines that were issued in accordance with the law; this cannot be used as a political bargaining chip! Dismissal of fines imposed under the Kaminitz Law will reward criminals and erode the foundations of law and order on which the State of Israel was established, where legislation creates deterrence against criminal activity.

The victims of this political horse-trade will be, first and foremost, the Arab Israeli communities that are desperate for sustainable planning and adequate infrastructure. If instructions are issued to retroactively cancel fines, we will appeal to the High Court immediately."

Yesterday, the Jordanian authorities thwarted an attempt to smuggle a new drug shipment into the country. The shipment came from areas controlled by the Assad regime in southern Syria.

A source in the General Command of the Jordanian military forces said that the eastern military area, in coordination with the Director of Military Security and the Department of Drug Enforcement, thwarted the attempted intrusion by a smuggler vehicle from Syrian territory into the kingdom.

According to the source, Jordanian forces spotted smugglers trying to cross the border, which led to the smugglers abandoning their vehicle and escaping back to Syrian territory.

After scanning the area, the vehicle, loaded with one million and 127,000 "Captagon" pills and 7,620 "Hashish soles" was seized, and according to the military source, the seized cargo was transferred to  "relevant authorities".

The Jordanian military forces stressed in their statement that they would "fight with all their might and vigilance against any infiltration or smuggling attempt, and defend the borders from any threat to the security of the Jordanian state."

It should be noted that since Assad's forces entered southern Syria in mid - 2018, the Jordan - Syria border has witnessed a significant escalation in operations and attempts to smuggle drugs- and that Oman has thwarted hundreds of these attempts.
