Israel Agrees to Compensate Palestinians for Lost Income from Confiscated Land

For the first time, the state of Israel will pay compensation to Palestinians whose land was confiscated in order to erect an authorized community on land Israel acquired in the 1967 war. A settlement was reached in which the government will pay about $87,000 for lost income resulting from the loss of farm land taken over the build the community of Amona. The settlement comes as the result of a law suit filed in 2008 that sought compensation for lost income but not for the land itself.
