 Ten Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups on Sunday filed a pettition with the Israeli Supreme Court of of Justice to grant an injuction against the government's decsion to cut fuel and electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip. While the same groups sucessfully filed such a petition several weeks ago, with the result that the Israeli Attorney General ordered the government to refrain from implementation while the impact of such a move be examined, the Israeli administration ignored the petition and, this week, proceeded with the initial stages of the plan, cutting the power supply by 12%. Following the move, the involved groups on Sunday petitioned the court to issue a restraining order against the state until the consequences of such action be considered. Among those groups involved are Adallah, an organization for Arab rights in Israel, Maslak, the center for freedom of movement, and the PCHR, the Gaza-based Palestinian center for human righths.
