Rabbi Avi Gisser, the rav of the Shomron community of Ofrah explains that he is somewhat dumbfounded by the fact the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition against houses being built in his community.

Rabbi Gisser stated that this is a matter of a disagreement between neighbors and such matters usually result in one party turning to police, filing a complaint, and police investigating.

Calling the move “ridiculous,” Gisser states “I could not turn to the Supreme Court with such a claim” referring to a building dispute, accusing the high court of mixing “political interests” into the picture.
