	B'Tselem - The Seperation Barrier - Judgment of the High Court of Justice in Beit Sourik
		The three justices — President Aharon Barak, Eliahu Matza, and Mishel Heshin — held that thirty of the forty kilometers of the barrier’s route involved in the petition (the area between Givat Ze’ev and Maccabim) was illegal and that the state must change the route.
