The Reform Movement in Israel has threatened to file a petition with the High Court of Justice if Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael Jewish National Fund moves ahead with plans to purchase private Palestinian property for settlement construction.KKL-JNFs executive committee approved a proposal on Sunday for such a program after a vote in the body was tied six votes to six.Due to a clause in the coalition agreement in Octobers World Zionist Congress which discounts the vote of a KKL-JNF executive committee member from the center-left, liberal bloc in case of an even vote, the proposal to buy the land was approved.KKL-JNFs directorate now needs to vote to approve the decision, although the organizations chairman Avraham Duvdevani and deputy Shlomo Deri promised during Sundays meeting that no vote would be scheduled before the upcoming national elections on March 23.Director of the Reform Movement in Israel and currently fourth-placed candidate on the Labor Party electoral list Rabbi Gilad Kariv said the proposals threatened the very existence of the so-called National Institutions as well as KKL-JNF itself.The far rights attempt to takeover KKL-JNF is only at its beginning and we are determined to block it via public, political and judicial means, said Kariv, adding that any decision by the KKL-JNF board to approve the plans would be challenged in the High Court.Merkaz Olami, the political arm of the Masorti-Conservative movement in the National Institutions, also spoke out against the plans to buy land in the West Bank, saying similarly it would damage the KKLs legitimacy amongst Jews in the Diaspora who do not support the settlements but are part of KKLs activities and financially support the institution. cnxps.cmd.push(function () { cnxps({ playerId: '36af7c51-0caf-4741-9824-2c941fc6c17b' }).render('4c4d856e0e6f4e3d808bbc1715e132f6'); });
